Sorry I can't offer any help on this one ; but I can share my
experience. I breast fed my first born until he was a little
over a year old and he self weaned and I found out that I was
pregnant again! I nursed this one for four and half months,
not my choice.... it was hers. I went back to work part time
when the babies were 8 weeks old and pumped... first child did
fine with switching from bottle to me but my daughter... Well
one afternoon she refused to nurse and refused and refused... I
tried every thing I could think of, I called LaLeche, A IBCLC
at Georgetown in Washington DC... read everything I could find
and I could NOT get this one to nurse any more... all she
wanted was the bottle. I pumped for a few more months but with
a 2 yr old and a baby and working... time was a factor and my
supply dwindled. So I had to resort to ABM :( Not something
I am proud of and I still regret it to this day (She is 5 now)
But I didn't know what else to do. I wasn't an IBCLC then.
Wish I was!
