Breast Feeding to Bottle Feeding
Messages:
I have pretty much exclusively breast fed my son for the last 6 months. I need to get him switched over to the bottle within the next 6 weeks. I have no choice in the matter.
Any mom's have any tips on how I can make this easier on both of us, but especially him.
I would first use a breast pump and get him used to drinking from the bottle and then gradually switch over to formula. Give him a week or so of drinking breast milk from a bottle first though. (If you have time)

Breastfeeding is one of the most wonderful experiences that a new mother will experience it can can also be one of the most confusing and frustrating things that a new mother will experience too. Excellent article.
So you've just squeezed a watermelon out of your belly button. No, not really. Although you may feel like you did only moments after giving birth. If you've never experienced it before, don't worry, the sheer bliss of meeting your child for the first time will greatly outweigh any pain you experience. Atleast once the pain killers kick in.
Soon after your child has arrived, he'll be carried away to be cleaned, weighed, poked and prodded. But it is very important...
