Thank you for the wonderful suggestions. I applaud this mother for her commitment to giving her baby only breast milk even though it was not her plan for how to give it!!! I saw the mother yesterday when the baby was sleepy. Mom preferred the Ameda breast shield as was suggested. He took a few sucks and fell asleep. At least he didn't push the breast/nipple away which is a big improvement and made mom feel a lot of better and less rejected. We talked about your suggestions and she is going to keep trying. Do you have a particular bottle that you recommend in this situation?
