Breastfeeding - breastfeeding


Expert: ruth kraft - 10/7/2009

Question
my baby is 6 months old he is refusing breast.I am a working mother. I leave for work by 8:00 am and returned home by 5:30 pm,really I feel sorry for him but I have to help his dad for his up keep,cuz he is our first child we love and cherish him.what can I do to keep him on breast milk? while I am at work he's taking SMA with beechnut rice cereal. please advice.

Answer
You can get a double electric breast pump and pump while at work and before work to get him the milk. You can also just keep offering the breast to him and hope he takes it. Because he had so many bottles he may prefer them and may not go back. but just keep trying and hope he does.

good luck!

Ruth
