She needs to take a bottle, but when?

[expatinscotland]

DD2 is now FOUR weeks! She is exclusively bf'd, and after a chomped nipple the first week, it's been going well. She's gaining weight and happy.

BUT, I have to be back at work the first week in April. No way to extend it if we want to have a roof over us.

I'm a good producer, and have expressed before in the past - chomped nipple - w/much success.

When can I introduce DD2 to the bottle of ebm? She already takes dummies.

I don't want to leave it too late, b/c she must take it before I go back to work, there's just no way around it.

well I am planning to do it asap with this next one as I left it with the others then they wouldnt take a bottle at all for months.

I would do it now personally and get dh to give it.

i've got the bottles ready. think i may give it a go tonight. i'm willing to pump during the night even.

it was hard to get her to take the dummy, so i've got a feeling i'd better get her to try to bottle instead of leaving it till say, a fortnight before work and meeting w/disaster.
