EBF intro bottles

My husband is getting easily frustrated when baby refuses to take the bottle from him. It’s him who’s introducing them as it will be him feeding baby in my absence. Any tips? For him and bottles?

Feeling so low

I have a 2.5yr old boy and my 9 week old baby girl. My toddler was always a ‘miserable’ baby, always crying and I thought this time would be different. But this baby is the same and I can’t help but think that it’s me and I’m doing something wrong to make them this way. I feel so embarrassed meeting up with people ...
