BFing moms - how to transition to bottles? Please help!!!!!
We are having some difficulty getting DS to do a full feeding from the bottle. He will eat from the bottle no problem but afterwards he still wants me. He starts rejecting the bottle and wants to feed from the breast.
Has anyone had a similar situation and/or any advice? Do you think we need to change the bottle type? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I need to be able to get away from this kid!  
Eta: Anymore suggestions???? Dh is trying to feed him and my poor baby is screaming his head off!!!! :'-(

He may just want to suck and not necessarily want more milk. Try giving him a paci first.

At first I used a normal nipple but I didn't want to confuse her with the nipples so I got the playtex drop in and I give her 5 oz. instead of 4 because she would want the breast if I gave her only 4

I would have someone else give him the bottle without you around. Take yourself out of the equation! Good luck!

He will take the paci briefly but then he spits it out and starts crying again.
Also the bottle is being given when I am not in the house. Once I get home I offer the breast and he eats a bit and falls asleep.
I don't think the amount of milk given is the issue because he won't finish the bottle. He will eat like half and then cry until I give him the rest.
