Leaving baby for 8 hours
I have an 8 hour course coming up on the 13th and will be leaving my breastfed baby with my MIL for the day. He will be 4 months by then. Since 9 weeks we have been trying to introduce a bottle once a day. He’s able to drink from the bottle but he gets bored & doesn’t finish it. Max he’s drank is 60ml and we usually have to throw the breastmilk away. We left him with my MIL today for a trial run for 3.5 hours. She gave him a bottle as soon as we left and he drank 50-60ml. He then had a great morning with her and took a nap, but when he woke up he was hungry and inconsolable which is right when my husband and I arrived to pick him up. He wouldn’t take the bottle from her at that point because he wouldn’t stop crying. This makes me so worried to leave him for the entire day. Any tips or tricks to get him to take the bottle?
