Firstly Wednesday HUGE congratualtions to getting to were you are BFing even though you hate it. It amazes me day by day to the lengths and sacrifices so many of us go to for our children.
You must find it so hard to deal with and I take my hat of to you.
What bottles have you tried? Is it the bottle or the formula that your DS detest's so much?
Would you consider expressing or have you just had enough full stop hun? And what formula's have you tried?
I had alot of trouble with Mateauz and getting him to suck on bottles...I tried quiet a few until I bought the new tomme tippee ones that have a teat that looks like a nipple. they are fantastic and look nothing like the normal teats on bottles. Must warn you though they are a bit expensive but well worth it for satisfation that Mateauz is taking the bottle.
I to found it hard with DH at work all day, a BF baby, a toddler and 2 other kids (one special needs) at my feet. My DH also felt left out and wanted to bond with Mateauz very badly so as my supply wasnt up to scratch we decided to give Mateauz a night time formula feed that daddy gave him. It gave me a break and gave DH time to have his bonding with his son. It also helped me feel human and even though I hated the thought of giving him formula..it made the world of good for him and for me.
I know everyone says happy baby = happy mummy....but when mummy isnt happy then baby inst happy either.
you have to do for you what is the best for you and your baby hon.
