Well, I've just fed Brandon. He was sleeping peacefully. Once we tried to move him he woke up instantly. Damn! Now he's moaning for something (probably more boob) and he's kicking like he's wired. Damn! Damn!
We got some formula from our neighbors. They graciously gave us a can of Good Start. Lee prepared some about an hour ago. We are waiting for it to cool. Lee wants to try Brandon on formula again. He wants me to have more freedom to do things instead of being on this leash and have to get hom cause Brandon is frantically wanting to eat.
I am still apprehensive cause the last time we fed him he got a horrible rash. And what if he decides he doesn't want the boob anymore? I am having a slight rejection issue. I would like his food to mainly come from me. Not a bottle. So far, he seems to prefer mommy. But, we'll see. Maybe he won't even take the bottle. This is depressing.
Lee is changing Brandon. Brandon, again, wasn't done eating. My God, will this child ever fill up?

I left a comment. I'm sure I did. But it's disappeared. I don't even remember what I said.

It's okay. We tried 3 times and twice it failed. The last time barely succeeded. He drank an ounce, kinda. He just licked the nipple on the bottle rather than sucking on it directly. He'll take it. Barely.
Probably best if it is mom's milk.
Sometimes formula can give breast-fed babies indigestion because it is harder to digest than breast milk.
I feel your pain :-) I couldn't get my babies to take a bottle.
Did you try using different shaped nipples on the bottle? You can even buy a bottle that is shapped like a breast. Hee-hee-hee.
The Breast Bottle might be an idea. We tried some of the various bottles you sent our way when the munchkin was born. We tried different bottles and he took one of them. So, I think it will work, I just think it better be breast milk. That way there is some reminder of mom in the meal.
