DS is 6 months old and was EBF until about 5 months and combi fed since then.
I started introducing him to the bottle and formula a month ago because I was going to have to leave him with my parents for a few upcoming events (weddings/KIT days etc.).
It was a massive struggle to get him to take a bottle, but he did eventually do it and I felt so pleased with myself that I think I got carried away and decided I was going to completely switch him to formula.
I’ve slowly been upping his bottle feeds over the last few weeks and he is now on 4 a day, with breastfeeds in between and at night. However I now realise I want to go back to EBF and feel a bit foolish that I almost totally swapped him to formula simply because of a few days where someone else is looking after him.
I’m going to go back to EBF, I still have a pretty good milk supply do this is no problem, but if I do this will he start refusing the bottle again and undo all my work? It would be great if I could EBF him but he could still have bottles on those days I am not around.
Any experience?
