ST: I preferred latching also but guess what my baby refused the bottle one fine day and we were so traumatized cos I need to go back and work and he rather go hungry for the whole day then to drink from bottles!
End up my mum needs to spoon feed him and he still spits out! Very naughty!!
I kept praying and miracle happened when he was about 8 months old, he suddenly willing to drink from bottle! Can you imagine I cried for something that is so normal.
Now, my hubby say we dun listen 100% to all the lactation consultant's advice on latching, concern of nipple confusion and baby refusing to latch. Every baby is different and we must be more flexible in this matter. Unless you are a SAHM, if not total latching can pose a problem when you need to return to work.
After the previous experience, I am more worried baby wont take bottles rather than rejecting the nipples!
