Hi all
My daughter is 6 months. I have pretty much flat out given up on giving her a bottle as it has never worked, tried all the tricks in the book. One night I left her with my mum and loads of milk and hoped for the best but had to come back as she sobbed for an hour (my mum was naughty and didn't tell me straight away as wanted to persevere).
Anyway, I'm starting to get a bit deperessed and feel isolated. I am desperate to just have the occasional night out - I want to feed her long term (2+ years if she so decides) but the idea of never being able to leave her at bedtime fills me with utter dread.
She is 6 months and not yet that fussed with solids although has some. DH and I have a night out booked in October when she'll be almost 9 months and I imagine having more solids, has anyone had any success leaving their bottle refuser for an evening once baby is actually eating more? I want this night out to be something to aim for. Perhaps a nice filling evenig meal and I'll obviously feed her before I go, and maybe a walk in the buggy will do it?
Any success stories please!
