going back to work

[mariesatonhisknee]

I went back to work with my first dc who took bottles really well by 5m and stopped feeding from me by 9m as we were all ready however my 6m old dc2 takes 50mls at a time if you are lucky with a lot of shouting but already eats food like it's out of fashion and I am back to work soon. I am worried though as they feed through out the night that I will be making up for this all night please tell me it won't last long

I went back to work when ds was 7 months. he was still feeding every 3 hrs mostly at night. he had 2 bottles of expressed milk during the day but only 2-3oz in each bottle.

it didn't make him feed more at night, he woke exactly the same so you may not need to worry.

I always fed him as soon as we got home to start with and he seemed to top himself up then!

Puppy phew that sounds good! I was hoping she'd keep to the same milk feeds just down more.
