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...

My 17 Month Old Will Not Drink Whole Milk.

I have tried and tried and tried. But, she won't drink whole milk. She eats the yo baby yogurt with whole milk, and she will eat cheese. But, she will not drink whole milk. I am not sure why. I have tried to mix her formula with milk, half and half. She will drink the whole bottle like that. But, lately she has just be throwing it all up. She hasn't been throwing up her other food that she has been eating. I am not sure how to get her off her bottle and the formula. Everytime I give her a sippy cup she just chews on the lid and then throws...

Removing Bottle from 14 Month Old

We successfully removed the binkie from my daughter at 13 months, and now I want to get rid of the bottle. I realize now why Moms say they go from breastfeeding straight to sippy cups. My daughter is hooked. The difference between the bottle and the binkie is that I could let her cry when she wanted the binkie, but I can't get her to drink milk out of any other cup besides the bottle. I give her a sippy cup with milk in it at every meal and she will have nothing to do with it. If I try to give her a sippy cup instead of the bottle she...

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!
