Re: Fussy Bub
one thing i would suggest is that initially when giving a formula bottle dont give it yourself, have a partner or friend etc give them formula and you stay right away, i found with my bubs that if i gave it at first they where expecting boobie and just got upset as did i, but if i walked away and let dad do it there was a little fussing but it soon stopped!
once shes had a couple of bottles and taken to it ok then you give her one and see how it goes, i also found by expressing some breast milk and using the bottle helped get them use to the bottle but still tasted the way they expected.
good luck! and if all else fails keep feeding as you are, ive been back at work for a while now and once the initial settle down period ended my boobies dont fill up too much and hes still feeding from me and the odd bottle, plus solids very happily.
