Hi,

I am having a strange problem I need help from you all..

I was breastfeeding my 6 month old daughter from her birth and there was no problem at all since I was having enough milk flow.

A month back since I need to join my husband in Kuwait I decided during the travel Its convenient to bottle-feed the baby and I did. After that whenever I nurse she use to refuse to latch on. Without option I brought a breast pump and now...i pump the milk and bottle-feed her and she drinks with a great smile without any problem. Now because of this my milk flow also gone down and I am actually worried what to do ??? How can I put my baby back to take my breast ?? Pls suggest Hetal replied. keep trying. also if milk supply is getting low, start pumping milk every 4 hours. take proper diet, if you want to continue breastfeed. still if the supply is not considerable, dont have guilt. you have breastfeed your baby 6 months exclusively,which is also good !
and keep trying..also by the time your baby will b 1 year, you will have to wean her..so if i were you, i will start my baby teaching how to drink liquids with spoon.
i have 11 month old daughter. i exlusive bf until 8 months, then i expressed it in bottle and gave her that. now she drinks with sippy cup, slowly with glass and nicely with spoon..
if milk supply has gone down,try it again, otherwise no guilt,be happy you are not one of those mothers who will be sitting with baby for hours to bf,,thats wat babies start doing after 8 months !
