Milk in Tumtum

My baby is EBF and refuses a bottle, but she drinks water through a straw cup. I’m worried about when I go back to work in May, how my mother in law can get any milk into her during the day. If she will take a tum tum can she have milk in that? As I’ve read on the leaflet it comes with not to give any warm drinks

My friend gives her girl milk in the tum tum cup, she just doesn’t heat it up in there and gives it barely luke warm x

I second Elena’s comment! My LG has the odd bottle of milk but tbh I’m going to move to the tumtum cup. She was poorly this week and wouldn’t breastfeed so I expressed and gave her it in the tumtum and she had a good drink from there. It was literally just expressed so was “warm” x

@Olivia my supply is quite low atm as in I think I only produce what she needs when breastfeeding. I don’t think I have enough to pump :( I might try her on formula and see if she will take it from the tumtum - with formula do you think I can make it and then leave it to cool until warm and then give it

I know it’s a pain to pump but have you tried pumping after your morning feed (if you do one) or in the morning? I can always get most off then! I’m going back to work in May too and I’ve been wondering how it will be with milk etc but I’m on a breastfeeding group on fb (BFYM - Breastfeeding support) and after a look on there, the general consensus is that when you RTW when they’re like 1 they should be ok on 3 meals a day with you just doing a morning feed/feeding when you’re back together. That way you wouldn’t have to think about introducing formula. However, if you need feel like you needed formula I would say make up and then let it cool off before putting it in cup ☺️ xx
