So, yeah, I know you can't spoil an infant. But, if you could, I think I may have done it. When Joaquin was a newborn we were forced to give him a bottle because our doctor mandated a few days of formula to treat his jaundice. It was not a problem and it did not interfere with breast feeding at all. We thought we were so lucky that we had a baby that was so flexible.
Cut to a few months later. I have not been away from Joaquin for more than 3 hours since he was born. So, it has really not been necessary to feed him with a bottle at all. And, because he was so good at bottle feeding when we did need to do it, I wasn't worried about this at all.
Unfortunately, Joaquin seems to have forgotten his bottle feeding skills.
Now I have a month and a half to help him remember how to drink from a bottle before I go back to work. I have heard that different babies prefer different bottles/nipples, so I just ordered a bunch of different kinds to try. Hopefully that will help.
Otherwise, I would love some suggestions from anyone who has had this problem and found a solution.
