Just that really. I love bf and DC1 was bf for 20 months. Dc2 not accepting bottle (neither did dc1 at the start). And I can't decide what to do. Dp says I need to stpp breastfeeding as dc is thwn more likely to accept soothing or bottle rrom him. I think there must be a better way since ahe and I both love the bfing. I just want him to be able to put her to sleep at bedtime some of the time. Is this possible? I shpuld know this but I don't. Thanks.

I bf all of mine and none took bottle. I found that dh was actually better at settling them at night as they could not smell the milk. Mine did take some expressed milk from a doidy cup but not that much. Bf is so cheap and easy that I would hang on in there.
