I have been a silent reader all this while. I have got lots of tip on breastfeeding here e.g. how to increase milk production and stories of how determine some mummies to breastfeed their babies which makes me wanted to continue bf/ebm my baby. By this month end, it will be 6 months since I started bf my baby
. Initially my plan was to stop after 6 months but after reading all the stories make me want to continue. My next target will be 1 year. Hopefully I can make it. Please include me into the breastfeeding list...since Apr 1, 2011.
Here I have a question to ask on behalf of my friend who is currently breastfeeding exclusively since she gave birth about 2.5 months ago. She is now very stress as her baby girl only accept direct latch and does not take any bottle feed. She has tried Breastflow, NUK, Avents nipples. All the latex or silicon nipples just don’t work. Night time she still needs to wake and feed her baby every 1-2 hours. She will be back to work on Sep 26...still got another 2 weeks time. Worst come to worst she may need to travel back home just to feed her baby during working hours. Final solution is that she may need to quit her job.
Some advices I got from other forum is to bottle feed the baby (calmer) when the baby is not so hungry. My friend has tried but not working. The moment she put in anything other than her nipple she will starts crying.
Anyone please help!!!!

Congrats on your BF journey.
I'm a mommy with a boy of almost 8months. I faced the exact same situation faced by your friend. I directly BF baby for 2 months and I had to return to work afterwards. So I pumped milk and gave my babysitter EBM everyday but my baby just wouldn't drink. I tried so many nipples also lah! Avent, NUK, Pureen Wide Neck, MAM etc etc. Never worked, cos mistake I did was never introduced bottle to my baby during the initial 2 months!
Then after I changed my babysitter, she tried feeding baby with EBM from a small spoon, then bit by bit baby got used to EBM. Then I bought Pigeon yellow color nipple which is quite soft and my baby liked it. After that I had no problem giving him EBM from bottle. So he still drinks...
Hope the above helps and u cud share wif u r friend!
