hi
My DS has 5 month old and i am planning to go back to work in about a month. My plan is to continue BF in the morning and when i come back from work. During the day i want that my husband give him my BM.( i will pump at work). However i would like to have a alternative to BM. My DS refuse to take the bottle if it is not breastmilk in it. Did it happend to any of you? and what did you do? thanks |

If you son is 5 months now, he will also probably be starting solids about the same time you return to work. I don't see any reason for planning on formula use. Larry |

I just wanted to have a backup. Then I'd cross that bridge when I came to it (wait until you're in a situation where the baby needs feeding, and it's impossible to get breastmilk for him), rather than trying to get him to take formula a full month before you go back to work. I'd spend that time building up a freezer stash, instead. It may be that if you ever do need him to take something other than bm, he'll be old enough to have a solids meal instead of a bottle.

My point exactly. Besides there are scientific studies that show
that even for breastfed babies, adding formula to their diets increases their risk for a variety of diseases, both in the short and long term. It is best to breastfeed exclusively for the first 6 months, then to avoid cow's milk products as you add solids for the first year.
