I am breastfeeding and I think my milk is drying up? I can't fill up shantae anymore all she wants to do is eat and I don't leak as much...So I am trying to put her on the bottle but it's hard ....I know she won't starve but I don't like to see her always crying because she doesn't want the bottle... For those who have been through this ..Please I need your advise and .....How long will it take??

I reccommend playtex nursers....But use the playtex naturalatch nipples....They are a lot like the breast and josh does good with them when I can't breast feed him. The premium nursers are a little more expensive than the original, but they automatically come with the naturalatch nipple so it saves you the money of buying different nipples. Also do what jen said about mixing breast milk with formula.

Thanx..I'll try that.. I feel really bad about letting her cry all the time because she wants the breast but is it true I can do it without starving her? I just can't stand to see her so crabby...Shantae is a stubborn baby ..And it's even harder for me now....Well I guess i'll give it a try..Thanx again for the** advice** Smile
