first expressed feed

[Nurse 26]

Harry just had his first expressed feed

He took bottle no problem then switched back to boob with no fuss... Clever boy

Only thing is OH gave it to him and found myself feeling a bit sad watching, bit like I wasn't needed, how silly is that? Anyone else felt like this?

I think I would've back when he was newborn but now as he won't take it I'd be rejoicing!

Yay! That's great he took the bottle no problem! We topped up K for the first few weeks and everyone wanted to feed her her bottle. It really bothered me too. They all wanted photos of themselves feeding her too, which I didn't enjoy either. Now she refuses a bottle and I wish other people could feed her once in a while lol.

pinky did he ever take a bottle?

i didnt know they could suddenly start refusing it after taking it?

i am looking forward to being able to leave him but i'm glad i wont be around when people will be feeding him i think feeding is a special thing between us, dont like the thought that anyone can do it now, i'm so greedy!

He did have a couple of bottles very early on and got what we think was nipple confusion which scared me so we stopped for a while and he'd no longer take it.

I have also heard of them just stopping. They know where their breads buttered

I was in tears the first time my hubby gave LO his first expressed breast milk in a bottle, I had to leave the room!

I felt like that the first time we left G with inlaws. She'd had bottles of expressed before the boon cos she wouldn't latch and that never bothered me. But the first I watched MIL give her a bottle I felt really weird. Xxx

 

[Nurse 26]

Don't know how I would cope watching anyone else give him bottle if I can't even watch OH. It took me by surprise as was looking forward to expressing to get a bit more freedom

Henry won't take a bottle I've tried and do has DH but he gets himself in such a state. DH really wants to help feeding him and I want to go bak to Zumba. I'd only be out for 1 1/2 - 2 hours and could feed him before I go and when I get back but hate the thought of him being hungry and not being able to be fed

Yep get what you mean about feeling unwanted, although it doesn't last long cos I always manage to find something else to do lol

Well done Harry xxxxxxxxx
