But I know a trick that might work for you.<br /><br />First, take a nipple from the bottle that the baby is used to drinking from. Cut the whole large enough for your nipple to be partly exposed. Place the bottle nipple over your nipple and allow the baby to nurse that way. I would express a little milk first so the baby gets something right away from the nipple. Each time you nurse, progressively cut the whole a bit larger until you have only the "ring" of the nipple base over your own breast. The baby will gradually be taking more and more of your breast and finally be weaned off bottle nipples.Janellehttp://www.themidwifenextdoor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985693736373223221.post-30320597437489614362009-11-08T09:00:02.200-08:002009-11-08T09:00:02.200-08:00Wow, hopefully everything works beautifully!!
