I have to work next week, four days, out for ten hours. We need the money and the contact may lead of more work in future, etc (am freelance).
My DD is five months and breastfed. Over the last month or so I've done all I can to introduce her to other feeding methods and she will dip water or milk from a doidy cup or take a little bit from a spout cup (very messily). She has had a bit of very runny baby porridge from a spoon she seemed keen.
But she just can't seem to 'get ' a bottle. She isn't refusing it, she shows willing, but she isn't getting anything out of it! She looks like she's sucking but she can't be. I'm just getting a but panicky about leaving her. Has anyone else had to do this? I wanted to see her take a 'full' feed from a bottle before next week but have got 3 days now and I don't know what else to do.
