Please please can anyone advise, I am going through a nightmare right now with my 6 month old daughter. I had originally planned to breastfeed her for 5 months then wean her off and onto formula milk for when I returned to work. I waited too long to introduce her to the bottle and she just refuses it. I could not return to work at 5 months and took another two weeks off. I start tring to make her feed from a beaker which kind of worked. I only have to work 2 days a week. I went to work for two weeks therefore my mother looked after her 4 times. All 4 times she drank about 2 ozs of formula milk and cried the whole day until I came home at 7pm. My poor mother spent all the days pacing round, taking her out for walks and driving about to send her asleep. One of the days she actually had to drive into central london for me to feed her as my baby got herself in such a state my mother was worried. My mother found it too hard so I have had to take a month off work (unpaid leave) to sort the problem out. I know its just too much for my baby at once as I am trying to wean her off my breast onto a beaker, change from breast milk to formula (she has to have soya as she had allergic reaction to normal formula)and get her on solids. I introduced solids two weeks ago, she hardly has any but I guess she will get the knack of it soon. I have to return to work in three weeks, I am so stressed about it all and cantever see her drinking milk from a beaker. I feel like she will be breast feeding off me when she is 15!!!!!!!! Has anyone gone through this? I would really appreciate any advice!
