Frustrated this evening as William’s refusing point blank to take milk from a bottle unless absolutely starving hungry. We’ve made sure he’s had at least one a day from 4 weeks, in case I’m not around for any reason, but it’s always such a struggle to get him to feed. Then if you put him on me he’s happy as Larry. SO annoying.
However, as Eddie kindly pointed out, I never go out on my own without Will so why would he need a bottle? Plus, it’s a total pain faffing with bottles/sterilising/warming etc when you’re out; balanced with the option of breast feeding in public (or at least hiding behind a bank of menus), the latter is probably a preferable alternative.
We shall persevere nevertheless, if only so that if I ever DO go out on my own and fancy a few ales, the baby will be fed and watered. If he chooses to wait for me to come home, then that’s entirely up to him. He’s got a while to decide though, the first night out I’ve got in the diary isn’t until June with the NCT girls!
