Keep breastfeeding her, it's okay. It's tough to add the bottle as well b/c of potential nipple confusion. Donnie took the bottle, but now he doesn't, which is scaring me b/c I go back to work in January!!! He needs to take it since he'll be with his grandmother. But, keep bfing anyway. I don't know what to tell you since I'm going through the same thing.

Oh, yeah, definitely continuing breastfeeding- I just want her to be able to drink my pumped milk while i'm at work. We have a long road of pumping ahead of us, but at least we'll still be nursing when I get home and at night. But bottlefeeding her breastmilk sounds a lot easier than cup feeding for my hubby. I think she's past the worry of nipple confusion at 7 weeks- she just wants my nipples only!

I can certainly understand. Donnie's not taking the bottle when I leave him with his grandmother. It's freaking me out big-time!!! I admit that he does sleep with us and he'll suckle to get himself to sleep. It's just so easy if I let him do it that way.
