DS2 is 9m and BF and used to have a bottle of EBM every evening from newborn to about 4-5m. Long story short I started taking over all the feeds and he hasn't really been given bottles much since then.
Last week I left him with MIL and he refused the EBM from her but I thought maybe he just wasn't hungry.
Couple days ago I left him with DH for the day and he refused the EBM again all day long. I did BF him the morning and evening (and again in the middle of the night as he had missed 2 feeds during the day). DH said he notice he just chewed on the bottle teat and did not like it much.
I am going away for a whole weekend in May and am getting scared he may not take to the bottle now. He will miss about 6- 8 feeds over a 3 day period (1/2 day on Fri, full day Sat, 1/2 day Sun). Not going is NOT an option. I will lose over £200 (hen weekend) and he is my 3rd DC so dare I say, I am looking forward to a weekend away (selfish? maybe...but much needed)
Anyhow, could he have forgotten to take a bottle?
The teat size is still a "1" - could that be the problem?
He eats very well (mainly BLW with cereal and the like spoon fed) and takes to a sippy cup for water.
Have you gone through this and have tips/advice?
TIA
