Bottle Refusal? Dream Feed?

Oh no, it seems like baby is rejecting the bottle!

Unless we wake her up midway from her sleep to feed, else she wouldn't drink from the bottle and would insist on being breastfed!  Some would tell me to keep on trying but this strong headed baby can go on for hours!  How to, when she's still so young and your heart would ache if you hear her cry(til voice hoarse and even choked). OMG...  This means - no more outing without baby, oh man!

I've managed to clear almost all of the EBM(expressed breast milk) from the chiller yesterday due to this and because of it, my bmilk supply seem to have dipped - 'cos of not wanting to store anymore EBM(since she doesn't quite like warmed up chilled ebm), I had not expressed and tried to let her finish up the balance ebm stored in the fridge.

Bfed her just before we(baby and I) head off to bed last night and instructed the maid to bring her to me only if she wakes up for milk from 5am onwards.  When I woke up at 6am, I quickly expressed when noted that baby has drank at 3:55am.  Then, at 7am, upon a quick check on her, I quickly changed her diaper and as she was fidgeting, I picked her up and dream-fed(like her jie jie) her with the freshly expressed bm, heee.  At this rate, I think it's gonna be very very hard to wean her off breastfeeding and that certainly leaves me with no 'movement freedom'(I had to rush back home on Sunday, simply because she didn't want to drink from the bottle and by then she had cried for quite a while already...) - oh no, what's gonna happen to my badly needed facial treatments?... Do I have to foresake the package?... :(
