Hey all I am breastfeeding my new born, he will not accept a bottle nipple what to do?? Was planning to go back to work but need baby to accept the bottle so my husband can feed him while i am gone....any tricks or suggestions??...

Also my oldest son is acting out really bad. He starts school in August I dont understand why he is acting the way he is if it is just brotherly love or a phase in his life. He is hitting his brother and spraying his brothers cup all over him "because he had his toy" oh my my my what to do lol ... i know what i did wanted to see your views

Try the playtex ventair wide nipple bottles. I used them with both my kids and I primarily breastfed, I never had an issue with nipple confusion. As far as getting your little one to take the bottle when it's close to your little ones feeding time leave the house and see if your husband can get your lo to take the bottle if your not an option. I would do it when he's hungry but not starving.
I don't know how old your youngest is but your oldest just maybe one of those kids who isn't adjusting well. Not all kids adjust well to a new sibling! Be patient and be sure you are giving him his own personal time, make it special. Make it cleat that hitting is not tolerated for any reason and consequences should be the same everytime. Hope this helps a little!
