Is Ellie the only June 2019 baby that's never ate from a bottle?

Question

There's been a few posts mentioning bottles recently, and it occurred to me that Ellie has never once ate from a bottle before. Is she the only one that's always ate straight from the source? Specifically, the LOs with SAHMs. I know there's no way working moms could EBF with no bottles. You working, pumping moms are literally my heroes! I applaud you all for your hard work and dedication 👏👏👏

My oldest only had bottles in the beginning, because she was in the hospital for jaundice. They had a pump for me to use, so I could feed her while she was under the lights. After that, she was always only on the boob, like my youngest, whom has never had a bottle. It's just easier to me that way. Am I crazy? Lol!

Plus, I just love these precious moments. I'm just in awe of her and the idea that my body is still working hard everyday to nurture my baby girl is something so magical to me. Nursing has to be one of the most extraordinary and beautiful things to ever to exist ♥️

Answer

I honestly can’t even imagine this concept 😂 Nursing was absolute HELL for me! I hated it, my daughter hated it, my husband hated it. The day I nursed my baby for the last time was like a huge weight off my shoulders. I switched to exclusively pumping a loooong time ago. I have a love/hate relationship with it, but honestly I think if we have another baby I could see myself exclusively pumping on purpose the second time around because it just feels right to me. I randomly tried nursing my daughter a few weeks after we stopped and she was like wtf are you doing?? 😂

Answer

My daughter is on formula now but she had a bottle in the hospital. She was 3 weeks early and needed to put weight on. We used donor breastmilk. My milk didn’t come in until 5 days after she was born. We struggled with nursing though. I had a severe oversupply and very heavy letdown so I switched to exclusively pumping but then we discovered she has a milk protein allergy so she’s on hypoallergenic formula. Not how I planned it but she’s thriving and less stress for all of us!

Answer

We estimate our little boy has gotten 10-15 bottles since he was born on June 22. Just to make sure he took one in case of emergency, so my husband could take him out without me, and for our parents to watch him occasionally while we went out!

Answer

I can count the number of times she has been bottle fed on my fingers. I usually feed her before i go out, now she can last 4 hours so i am golden. She is going straight from boob to sippy cup.

Answer

My girlie pretty much has refused bottles from the get go and gets her milk straight from the tap. With my first I did a combo of nursing and pumping since I was working. This time around I’m a SAHM and EBF. At first I was pretty frustrated that she wouldn’t take a bottle, but looking back now I’m glad it’s worked out this way. I don’t miss washing pump parts or bottles at all.

Answer

Mine only had a bottle for supplementing 1/2 an oz a feeding for the first few days In the hospital her firsts doctors visit changed it to 1oz per day for 2 weeks and that was the end of that. Just to get some weight on her so not sure if that counts or not lol

Answer

She's not interested. I was told to give her water with each meal so I have given her a bottle but she's not interested, at most she will suckle for a second and then change her mind.
Originally I was worried because I was going back to work in February, but now I'm returning in April, so I feel like by then She'll be more interested, or atleast able to drink out of a normal cup.

Answer

We’ve done a bottle twice and it was at the very beginning when he wasn’t gaining enough weight. Honestly I don’t think he’d take one now which worries me a little when I go back to work in June. We’re trying to introduce a 360 sippy cup but it’s slow going

Answer

Only like 4 times

Answer

Accidentally clicked wrong one. My baby has only had a bottle once or twice when he was about a month old
