What is the name of your state? Anywhere
Ok after hearing time and time again this being posted I had to say something. When a mother on here says that she is breastfeeding and that might limit visitation they get jumped on. People say that is what they make breast pumps and bottles for. Well if you had breastfed then you would know that some babies WILL NOT take a bottle when breastfed since birth. I have breastfed all three of my children. Two of which didn't much like to take the bottle but would if breastfeeding was not available at the time. One though would NOT take a bottle NO matter what. My ex took my son for over night picking him up at 1pm in the afternoon and returned him at 3 am because my son would not take a bottle he just kept crying and fussing. I tried everything to get him to take a bottle so that his father or a sitter or any family member would be able to take him and he just would not take a bottle even if he was very hungry. Trust me this was my 3rd child and I would have loved a break from time to time and have always made sure to make it as easy as possible for their father to be as involved as he wanted. So maybe the next time one of you post this answer you might try and realize that you can't force a child to take a bottle so just "give them a bottle" is an ignorant statement to make.
