Jacki i am expressing a little bit but that's because i have too much milk already and it's uncomfortable if i don't! I know that won't help the 'too much' problem but i'm in utter agony otherwise, and he doesn't always want a 'top up' which is when he takes the second side.
When i try to introduce the bottle, i'm going to try and do it as a starter feed on the bottle and let him finish on the breast... or something like that... Don't know how it will go but it's the best i cam up with.
As for the dummies - i was going to but i'm sort of going to wait and play it out. I think dummies may have the same issue with a bottle - if you wait too long they may not take... who knows! Alex likes to suck on his hand a lot for comfort (he's managed to coordinate his thumb in there once or twice, lol) so i'm not going to offer the dummy for a while...! But i do know i had one pretty much from birth!
Oh & good luck with your trip to the shops!
