@qabbz Make sure that you are not feeding him the bottle. My son is now 3 months old and he wouldn't take the bottle at first, but overtime he began taking it. My husband had to feed him and I couldn't even be in the room with them while he was eating. Now he takes the bottle fine and at night and in the morning I feed him still. It's frustrating and may take a week or so, but eventually he'll take the bottle! Don't give up!

Dianyyyy if you pump more theres a good chance you can slowly rebuild your supply but not always. Its worth a shot.

Ok so here's my problem. I've been exclusively pumping since my baby girl was about a week old. I'm a 19 year old going to college so it was a struggle to have to pump every three hours but I did it because I knew it was best. But recently when my baby turned about three months I went through some stuff so I just started pumping less and less... Now my baby is four months and well I still pump but only about once a day. I feel really terrible because I know that breastmilk is whats best for my baby. Will I be able to give my baby breastmilk once again if I started pumping again. Or is my milk gone now?

Don't buy Medela hands free. I just got one for $376. What a waste of money since I can't return it.

Hello all, I'm Michelle. I'm new to the group. I have a 3 month old and I'm pumping. It has been challenging returning back to work 2 weeks ago but I'm being optimistic about being able to continue pumping while at work. Any suggestions to being successful in this process will be great!

yes i'm just going to buy me a new one if i still want to get one later. i did see a 50 dollar medela kit that's just the tubes, cups, etc at toysrus so you could buy an old pump for the the motor part i guess. i just figure with all that work though i might as well just buy a new kit.
