xxx Hope you're better really soon and you can find alternative meds.

I agree about the pumping - it'll be loads easier than trying to relactate xxx

Who's your FB friend? She is probably one of mine too lol I am training with Dr Newman right now and he is also a friend. He is a great man and knows more about breastfeeding than anyone else on the planet...in my opinion lol His information sheets on his website do cover most issues.

Have a read through the article on bottle feeding breastfed babies:
http://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/bottle-feeding.html

Be careful with the size and speed of a feed, babies (older ones too) can decide that they like the ease of bottle feeding and go off the breast. If they have too much at once, they can stretch thier stomach, and aren't as content with little and often they get from breastfeeding.

I was advised to never give more than 4oz at once, and to always use a newborn teat. The baby should have a 'paced' bottle too - wind them regularly, take the teat out and talk to them and cuddle them. Anything to make it take as long as a breastfed feed would take.
