Hi everyone,
I am finally making some progress with switching from BF to bottles. DS (10mo) is at nursery full time now and I am back at work. I work shifts in the hospital so my schedule is a bit random. I wanted to move to bottles for two reasons:
- So he gets adequate fluids at nursery - initially we had trouble with introducing the bottle and when he started nursery he took basically nothing all day. He was so distressed and I was up all night (literally 5-6x) feeding.
- DS has cows milk protein allergy and I am on a dairy free diet which I hate and is bad for my nutrition as I am veggie already.
DS is now taking some milk at nursery and I am only really doing feeds overnight (about 2x 10mins), bedtime and waking up (about 10mins) if I am not at work.
I have put on 2kg in the past month - nothing else has changed in my lifestyle so it must be the reduction in feeding. Obv 2kg is not a major issue but I don't want it to continue too far! I was kind of hoping it would tail off.
Anyone had weight change experiences stopping feeding?
