Need Advice About Breast Feeding

I have a 2 1/2 month old daughter that I've been breastfeeding since birth. I'm going on a trip for 10 days and was planning on just having her bottle fed for the 10 days and then continue with the breast feeding when I get back. Is this a possibility? I had a really hard time getting her to take the bottle at least once a day so she can get used to it before my trip, but now she is and totally refuses my breast. I'm very confused and wonder why... My doctor said she has Thrush and it hurts her...Now I'm at a loss and don't know if I'm...

Milk Storage Bags

Does anyone know of any breast milk storage bags (for freezer) that can also serve as a bottle liner that works for the actual feeding? It would save the step of transferring to a bottle for the feeding after thawing the milk...less dishes for me!

Introduction Bottle Immediately with Breastfeeding

I have heard that you should not introduce a bottle to a breastfed baby until 4 weeks old, however I will be returning to work after 6 weeks. I also have Fibromyalgia and not getting any sleep for a the first weeks will make me ill, so my husband felt that I should pump at night before I go to bed and he will get up with our daughter... So she gets the breast during the day, and the bottle of my milk at night with him.. I have heard that some babies get nipple confusion and have others say... what are you talking about....

Playtex Drop-Ins System

With my 2 1/2 year old, we tried nearly every bottle on the market before he settled on the Avent bottles. They were great, but I'm thinking with the next one (due in a couple weeks), I would like to use the Playtex Drop-Ins. But my question is this... To those of you who have used these, how do you warm the milk or formula? Microwaving is always a no-no, and with the other bottles we've used, we heated the contents with a bottle warmer. These say not to put the bottle into a heat source. Do I have to heat it in a separate container...

Playtex Drop Ins

Anyone out there use playtex drop ins? How do you feel about them? I am considering trying them for baby #2 thinking that it will be less cleaning of bottles (hubby is not much help!). I will likely use a few different brands of bottles (like dr browns and avent in past.) If you have used them, can you mix the formula and water in the pouch itself or do you have to premix the formula then put it in the pouch? Just curious, thanks!

Help with Lactation

Does anyone have any tips on promoting better lactation. I have a 4 week old son and have had to put him on formula because my breastmilk production has gone way down (about 2-3 oz per DAY. My pediatrician told me to try an herb called fenugreek but I have yet to notice a change. Has anyone ever used this herb, does it work? I've also been told to drink 1-2 beers a night and this will help, I haven't tried it but has anyone else? Or does anyone have any other tips? Please let me know, I am desparate!!!
