I had expressed a bottle for Jacob to have today while I was out, but he wasn't himself so I stayed home with him. Now Shaun is feeding him the bottle because I wanted to see how it went and he is taking it very happily... But I can't watch without tears coming to my eyes. I know it's selfish but it makes me sad to see because I am used to being the only one who can provide that for him. :(

:hug: i had this a few weeks ago. but he will always choose booby over bottle, nothing can change that
 
Thats why i've never expressed and used a dummy got jealous when i saw him sucking on them :oops:
 
NOTHING can replace you on, you are mother and to baby you are QUEEN!!!

:hug:
 
I rem feeling like this :hug: but now I thoroughly enjoy the freedom of being able to go out. Was difficult at first, but I just reminded myself that it was MY milk. Even when it was me giving him the bottle Isaac still rooted for me when I took the bottle out to see how much he'd had :lol: which made me feel better :D It gets easier with time :hug:
 
Aw, we did this for the first time the other day and Flo was really confused, rooting for daddys nipple only to find some plastic monstrosity offered to her ! Shes all about the booby and im sure its the same for ur LO !
 
Thanks everyone. It helps to know I'm normal for this. Maybe that will be the first and only time I watch it happening! Jacob fed from me about an hour later. :]
 
I remember the first time ds had formula rather than boob, he was 6 months and it had been a real struggle to get that far with no formula, I was really proud of myself. I'd made the decision to stop expressing, so Daddy gave him his first formula feed but I was on standby in case he wasn't having any of it... and he didn't flinch, just drank it straight down. I was absolutely gutted, I'm sure I actually cried.

It's normal hun but you're still number 1 (boys always love their mummies best :D )
