My first day back to work after maternity leave was a nightmare. Not because work was hard or I was used to spending my days at home. It was he** because my EBF baby refused to take a bottle & was inconsolable. It was truly awful and I had to fight everything in my being to prevent myself from just throwing up my hands, saying "screw this", and running home to my baby. I fought the urge and we all survived. We are now thriving as a family with a working mama and our breastfeeding relationship is as strong as ever at almost 18MOS. That was really tough & the memory stuck with me. So I have compiled some tips that should help any new moms prevent the worst and manage the inevitable aspects of feeding your BF baby from s bottle. Good luck mamas...you've got this! And if you need further support please feel free to DM me! 💕💕 #bottlerefusal #maternityleave #newmom (at Seattle, Washington)
