combining breast and bottle-HOW??? any tips v.welcome

[emz31]

my DS is nearly 4 months , i've been trying a bottle of expressed milk almost every day for last 6 weeks. some days he will take maybe 3 ozs max, so i know he can do it, but most of the time he screams himself hoarse and just won't have it. any tips? also how about introducing a formula feed, would that help? don't want to give up BF but am a bit worried that i may be feeding him when he's 3!

Good for you! Now forget about solids too until six months. Why make life more complicated? I think it's absolute rubbish to suggest breastfeeding makes it harder for children to eat solid food. For heavens sake, how does she think we survived before bottles were invented!! People are full of the most stupid advice imaginable sometimes. Now get on with enjoying your babies and when you see that silly woman and if she gives you any more crap, you could say, "I've decided to keep breastfeeding because it's so important for my and my baby's health, didn't you know?" and really piss her off!
