Thanks ladies for your responses.

Usplus2 - It's really nice to talk to someone who has been in my shoes. I am about 6w now and she has really no interest in BF at all. She will take the EBM though thank God. I have tried milk feeding before solids but it makes little difference. She is still drinking her milk and other than dropping her morning feed, which she did before the pregnancy anyway - she is still having 3 - 4 bottles a day. You are exactly right, I think I would feel like I was giving up considering the effort I have put into the BFing/expressing for her for almost 8 months. It's good to know that your DS switched without any dramas. Looks like the end of your pregnancy is very soon - I'll be stalking you for a BA

Nickle730 - she's still having plenty of wet nappies and drinks water from a straw cup quite often during the day. I have tried adjusting her solids and oferring milk first but it makes little difference, she will still drink the milk but only X amount. It's really the BFing that's the problem. She won't BF but she will take EBM and while I am happy to keep expressing, without BF's my supply is dropping off. Good to hear you haven't offered your Mum a bottle of formula - she might be a bit offended LOL. I am coeliac and have been advised to introduce wheat to DD's diet after 12 months so that's why I was looking for a GF formula. I didn't realise they might all be GF - seems like I might have some research to do!! Thanks so much for your advice.

After sleeping on it, I've realised I do want to perservere with the BFing but if she won't accept the breast soon, I am worried that my supply might continue to drop. I am expressing 5 times a day at the moment to try and increase supply and she's only having 3 or 4 bottles so hopefully that will be enough to keep it up. If we do move to formula, it won't be a full time swap - hopefully just 1 comp feed a day. Surely I'll still be able to get enough milk for 2 bottles a day!!

Thanks again so so so much.
