The dreaded "Breast to Bottle"

I was so worried about breast feeding before little Freya was born. Would I have enough milk? What if she couldn't latch? Would I be able to breast feed in public? We did have a couple bumps in the beginning due to Freya's tongue tie. We followed the pediatric lactation consultant's advice on refraining from clipping it at the 3 week visit and to see how she did during the weeks following. We had been using a nipple shield up until that point on the left breast because so much tissue damage had been done after those first initial latches in the hospital. Ouchy. But since then, we've been pretty successful. 

So now my worries have gone from "Can I breastfeed? Will she latch? Public feeding?" etc. to "Holy crap, will she ever take a bottle? What if she won't take a bottle?".  I'll be going back to work super duper part time. 4 twelve hour shifts within a 6 week period starting November. So only 4 nights Nico will be on his own. I just want her to be able to do it for 4 nights! It's not even once a week! Is that too much to ask? I don't want her to be screaming for him at that 3am feed cause she doesn't understand how to suck, swallow, and breathe from an artificial nipple. I'm not gonna lie, I am more than pleased that she prefers me! I'll take this problem over the many other outcomes we could of encountered. But still!  

She take the phrase "breast is best" a little too seriously. We've literally tried everything except me actually leaving for a few hours and not just going outside where she can't smell me anymore. We plan to attempt this tomorrow.  We'll see how that goes! Hopefully this is just another one of those phases that will pass. (Fingers crossed)

Me: "You absolutely will take this $30 bottle!" Disclosure: no sucking was happening in this picture, just a lot of chewing action! (eye rolling)
