Won't take bottle, advice needed

I went back to work (part time) when she was 3 mos old, and I just worked short shifts so I could get back home. She would wait five or six hours for me even at that age, rather than take one of the bottles of EBM I left for her. -- Hillary Israeli, VMD Lafayette Hill/PA/USA/Earth "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

We stuck with the newborn nipple as recommended but I wish I would have tried one of the faster flow nipples for older babies. That would have probably been a better match to me as I had an over active letdown and milk flowed pretty easily without much work from the baby. -- Nikki Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Thing One and Thing Two :-) EDD 4/06 |
