Guest guest Posted May 25, 2000 Report Share Posted May 25, 2000 Annemarie, It is very difficult to predict which baby will show a nipple preference and which will not. As Margaret said, bottles can be given and breastfeeding remain intact with a very strong committment and good solid information. If I was in a situation where I needed to go back to work I would certainly do all I could to establish my supply with breastfeeding alone in the early weeks and then introduce the bottle right before I returned back to work. My problems that I had with bottles were certainly a result of lack of information. I wasn't working with my second but he was getting bottles and showing a preference. I do not have to go to work so my situation is vastly different from yours. For me personally it isn't worth struggling through potential nipple preference if I don't have to. If I needed to go back to work I would certainly continue nursing and give bottles when I was gone, which is what I did with my first. Some babies absolutely have no nipple confusion and transfer from breast to bottles with no problems. Other babies can really have difficulties transitioning from breast to bottle. There is no way to predict which babies will have difficulties. The best thing is to be well aware of the potential problem and deal with things as they come up. With a strong committment you can overcome most any breastfeeding issue. Getting breastfeeding off to a great start is your best bet for a longterm nursing relationship, no matter whether you are working or not. Wendi http://www.lactivist.com breastfeeding info & resources Re: Bottles, the beginning of the end I usually lurk since I am still awaiting the arrival of my little nurser. I am just a little confused about this whole topic. I have encountered this topic other places online. The reason for my confusion and I might add worry is the fact that I will have to return to work after the birth of the baby. My working situation is a matter of need not choice. If I had my way I would not return until after the kids are in school full time and then do like my mother did and work PT during the hours we were in school. I will be working 8 hours 5 days a week. My intention is to pump during working hours and have my mother and MIL(they are my caregivers) give EBM during the time I am gone. I know that I am not the only one in the world that has to or has choosen to do this. Maybe I am giving more credit to babies than are due. I feel that babies are quite intelligent. It just seems like if bottles are given when mom is not around that they would be more than willing to go right back to mom once she is back. It is my understanding that BF'ing is not only a way to get " food " into their little stomachs but also a close personal relationship. A relationship that no matter how caring and loving a caregiver(can't get much more loving than grandma LOL)a baby cannot get from a plastic and silicone object. Please understand that I am fully aware that babies can totally give up on mom because of a bottle, I do not doubt in anyway the stories I have heard. But my question would be if that is always the case would it even be worth my while (or any working mother)to even start to bf if the relationship will soon end after I have to go back to work? I mean no disrespect in any way, it is just something that I am truly conscerned about. Everytime I run into this topic I feel like we are doomed before we even start.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2000 Report Share Posted May 25, 2000 Vicki, I also would wait until after 6-8 weeks. When I went back to work with my daughter I tried and tried to give her a bottle, as did my dh. It wasn't until the day that I went back to work that she would actually take a bottle from him. (she was 7 months and we had been trying for a month) 4 weeks is pretty early and your milk supply is still regulating. There are some tricks to get a reluctant baby to take a bottle. The best way I have found is to wrap the bottle in a shirt or something that you have worn. The smell helps.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2000 Report Share Posted May 25, 2000 I have not yet commented on the back-to-work, need to use bottles thread yet because there are so many variables. I returned to work at 4 weeks PP, I started pumping and offering bottles at 2 weeks PP. did fine going back and forth and in fact, preferred me. My sister held off because she was told to wait 6-8 weeks and her DD would not take a bottle at that point. I kept her overnight at about 7 weeks and got about 4 ounces of EBM into this poor baby. I tried bottles, syringes, cups, and I finally simply nursed her myself. When I talk to moms, I try to let them take the lead and gauge their nursing relationship themselves. If nursing is *well* established, milk supply is good, then giving a bottle after nursing just to introduce it, is a fairly safe road to take. And I agree with someone else's recommendation to continue to do it every few days to keep baby used to both. If at any time, the nursing relationship is starting to suffer (poor latch, clamping, lowered milk supply) then I advise that they back off on the bottles. Waiting too long can be detrimental as can too soon, too many, too reliant on them...etc. Bottles, in and of themselves are not evil <G> but should be treated as a tool. Pumping when one offers a bottle is essential as well in order to keep the milk supply from dipping. Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2000 Report Share Posted May 25, 2000 a, my 3yo was a winter baby. I was so excited when I got pg in November because of this one being a summer baby. You know outdoor birthday parties. Well, now that it is starting to get real hot there is something to be said for winter babies. <VBG> I have been telling DH that " big momma " will be indoors for the next couple of months. LOL Most days I have been running the central air and the ceiling fans. I am in Danville, where are you at?

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2000 Report Share Posted May 25, 2000 a, my 3yo was a winter baby. I was so excited when I got pg in November because of this one being a summer baby. You know outdoor birthday parties. Well, now that it is starting to get real hot there is something to be said for winter babies. <VBG> I have been telling DH that " big momma " will be indoors for the next couple of months. LOL Most days I have been running the central air and the ceiling fans. I am in Danville, where are you at?

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2000 Report Share Posted May 25, 2000 Annemarie We had to turn on the air back in the beginning of May. I hated to do it but we could not stand it. My last one was born in Sept. and I had one born in Nov, Jan and April. With the last one I spent alot of time in doors and in the pool. Hopefully it wont get too hot for you. We are in Norfolk.
