First day back at work- UPDATE: Progress already!

First 5 hours of work: here are my first, second, and third pumping sessions so far. Assuming my 4th will be another 2 ounces. And there were two nursing sessions in between these also🤦🏼‍♀️

NOW - to get my baby to take the bottle would be great.

As was stated, I had to leave work two times to go to the sitters to nurse my poor baby ☹️...so much for “she’ll figure it out”....now I’m going to have to do double and triple the work to get her to take this bottle 😖😣...it wasn’t easy with a toddler and house to clean to work on her to take the bottle and my SO wasn’t very cooperative at bottle duty to help 😏...this too shall pass...😌

UPDATE:

When I got home we tried a spectra & munchkin bottle but refused so we nursed until she was content and I put her in the mamaroo until she started rooting again. I attempted the bottle this time heated up (used the bottles she didn’t dribk at the sitters this time). She took to it! She had maybe a half an ounce. Offered her a pacifier when i put her in the car seat to leave and she took that! (Haven’t taken one since birth) Then later on for the next feed I tried another one of the bottles that was left and she had an ounce! And took the pacifier again!

I was using the kiinde bottles. Hoping she would take them for convenience of not needing to do so many dishes...anyhow I am going to send her with tommee tippee and Phillips avent bottles tomorrow as per the sitter’s request (for normal bottles LOL) and maybe have the kiinde bottles in her bag for backup in case she refuses those.

I have a como tomo & mam bottle too that I can also try our to see if she does even better...

Thanks for the suggestions ladies. I think the persistence of it is helping a lot. I attempted a trial run Saturday with my mom and she barely took 3 ounces for the entire 8 hours 😣. But on the bright side, I think my little girl is getting the idea that she needs to get with the program!

So, we’ll see how tomorrow goes 🙏🏼

also, to answer the question about how long it was before I had to run to the sitters- it was until the next feed 😂. So about 3 hours from her morning feed which was about 2 hours from when I clocked in. Then the next time I had to go was about 4 hours from that first run over there...so the sitter did try for a little while before calling me...
