I think you should let the organisers know exactly what a struggle this has been, its absolutely ridiculous that they are running a BF support course but not actually supporting YOU. If it were me i would make a stand and say you are bringing baby

:bf: :bf: :bf:

She was better overnight she just nursed all night. Thank goodness I co sleep 50% of the time so it wasn't an issue.

I had such drama trying to get DD to take bottle :drama: . I ended up turning down a job offer because at 5 months she was super clingy and refusing anything but bf so I knew she would get in an absolute state. At one point of desperation I spent a fortune on bottles/ teats/ cups :giggle: ! The best luck we had was with the Doidy cup. Made a horrific mess but she did at least have something. She now drinks water from a cup with a free flow spout and will take half a bottle with the Nuk latex teat :wine:

Laura unfortunately as I have a servere latex allegy we have had to avoid those teats. She will have it off a spoon funny baby. Well I've decided I'm going tomorrow now think a little break will do me good. My sister is going to sort her tomorrow. She is a midwife so will be fine.

what bottles are you using? tommee tippee are meant to be the closest thing to a nipple/breast.

also is it you trying or hubby? if it is you, get hubby to have a go as he can smell your milk and hormones and will naturally want boobie instead!

also are you warming it? try this or if already doing it try room temp, might not like the temp.

sorry if no help at all. we've been really lucky with chloe, she has always taken whatever in any form, any temp too so this is all i can think of.

good luck!

@airry87 this is an old thread we tried everything she would only have it from a spoon.
