    Sami, boogelly - you've both mentioned bottle issues in the past. Finn's point blank refusing to take any bottles any more (went through about a week or 2 gap where I didn't give him any and now since last week's separation episode he's flat out refusing them), which I feel if we don't fix it now will only escalate to more problems down the line with return to work, etc. Any tips? I've been trying to offer him a bottle once a day, which he usually just sobs down the house at. We've tried TT CTN and Breastflow (both of which he's taken in the past). I'm loathe to spend loads of money on trying different teats, especially as he's taken from both those bottles previously. Sometimes the milk is freshly pmped within the hour so I know it's not a temp issue.

    KOAG - the ladies have already given you fab advice, your doing a great job and no matter how you feed him a happy baby needs a happy mam so please don't feel any guilt about FF or BF. How about having a babymoon with him as the other's suggest, have a bath together, let him have oodles of skin to skin and take to bed for a day or two.

    Aless Isla still won't take a bottle (rolleyes smilie) I've tried TT CTN, MAM, NUK, Nuby, Breastflow and cheopy supermarket ones. It's cost me a small fortune! She will play with the bottle and put it to her mouth, I sometimes put cooled boiled water in to get her used to it having weight/liquid behind the teat and she will suck that but as soon as I put milk in she screams the house down. I bought a few different sippy cups to try too and again, she'll play with them but no actual drinking. Sorry it's not much help :o

    My little girl has rolled from front to back 3 times today :T And now I have to go offline again as need to pack for my trip away tomorrow!

    Boots have sent me a 10% off code for baby stuff that can be used online or printed off, I'd imagine everyone in the parenting club will get it but if anyone wants it forwarding on just pm me, I should be back on later tonight :)
