My son's a boob addict!

My DS always seems to need a bit of help falling to sleep at night with a breast feed, and now he's started needing the same during the day. I know its comfort feeding (he's 6 months and getting 3 meals a day now and plenty of milk feeds) and I wouldn't mind but I'm going back to work soon and plan on taking my boobs with me! He's never taken to bottles (even when I couldn't feed him for 24 hours because of medication.) not sure what to do!

Join the club of little boys and their boobies! My 9mth ds needs bf before every nap and to go back to sleep at night too. Have you tried offering milk in a cup? Or get someone else to try a bottle while you are out of sight. If I have to go out without ds (very rarely happens) he will take a bottle from someone else. If you are going back to work guess he will have no choice but to accept the bottle if he wants milk. But maybe if he is on 3 good meals a day maybe he will just wait for you to get his milk?
