Advice or pointers

He will get use to it but you need to prepare him at home daycares are vary scheduled and routine based so do your research to see which one best fits your philosophy your lo with eventually get use to it if you plan for a sitter start the environment with you present any person who is watching him and has experience will figure it out as it’s not the first baby that they’ve watched that’s been through it consistently is key practice bottle at home with another caregiver or yourself and they are gonna fight it but one bottle everyday will get them use to ot and since he’s one he has a better understanding make it scarce and act like you want the bottle first and he will be curious and want what mom wants also I recommend an open latch bottle like evenflo wide balance or something that gives the open latch

Or a straw cup (:

those are all valid feelings you are going through … your baby will find a way to cope, with my first I had to go back to work fast and so I started by weaning her off slowly during the day. less feeds more distractions, kept her full and spilt bottle feedings with others so she wasn’t getting it only from me. you may want to try all kinds of nipples to see what your baby likes most. it’s a rough start but you’ll both get through it 🩷🩷🩷

also babies don’t starve themselves, he will drink eventually from the bottle especially if it’s breast milk

I’d talk to a lactation specialist! But if you’re not around he might take the bottle and if he doesn’t he won’t starve he will just wait for you to return! Is he eating foods and drinking water ? Don’t feel guilty for wanting to go back into the working world! Baby boy will adjust with time
