On the down side, for some women, a small amount of time not nursing
can dry up the
milk.. so it may be that it has been too
long. Sucking from the mothers breast is in fact more work for a baby than using a bottle, so you will need to put in heaps of time encouraging the wee one to suckle from the breast, try squeezing out a few drops to sit on the nipple before "tempting" bubs with it so he can get the taste.
