I'd like to introduce a bedtime bottle for EBF DD 6mo. What amount of milk is usual for this?
I've been giving her a bottle in the day to get her used to it but she only takes a couple of oz and gets distracted quite easily.
My reason for wanting to do it is so that DH can put her to bed as well sometimes. At the moment it's only me that does it as a BF settles her and she was refusing bottles point blank until a couple of weeks ago.
There are a couple of evening classes and things I want to start doing (maybe even go out once in a while lol!) as I am with her all the time 24/7 otherwise, however I am also torn as the thought of giving up that bedtime feed where she is all lovely and relaxed and sleepy makes me want to change my mind!
Anyone else do something like this?
