Offering a bottle - have you??

Question

Hey 
I posted the other day and it’s still on my mind 🙈
Is there any mums who didn’t offer a bottle? Going to sound stupid but I thought breast feeding that’s all you done and didn’t offer bottles. 
My little one is sooo clingy in the day I wouldn’t get 5 mins to express.
Then it’s what teat , how much milk and how many bottles ... 
Then what if she takes to bottles and refuses boob
I really want to stick at breastfeeding we are 6 weeks in 💓 been so hard but I think I’ve come this far 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Answer

Little one is 20 months and never had a bottle. When we introduced sips of water we used the 360 cup (brilliant!) 
To be honest i think if your bf journey is going well then bottles are just gonna make things harder. If you ever do want to pump and leave some milk they can have it from a cup. They’re not supposed to have bottles after 12 months anyway because of their teeth like with dummies and if you dont introduce them then you don’t need to worry about weaning them off them 🤗

Answer

I haven't offered a bottle. 
Long story short, I had to pump for a few feeds and used supplementary nursing system to feed my babe

Answer

7 months in and never had a bottle 😊

Answer

I never offered a bottle I exclusively breastfed. It’s all personal choice. Some women like the break and like having someone else feed baby. I didn’t respond well to a pump and hated pumping so I chose to not offer a bottle. If baby is well established breastfeeding introducing a bottle shouldn’t be a problem.

Answer

I had to offer a bottle the first day she was born and once every few months after that but I mostly breastfed because it was easier. She hated the bottle but eventually took it when she realized that was the only way she was getting food that day lol

Answer

I seriously HATE pumping. I got a haaka off amazon and just put it on the other breast while my baby ate and got almost 2oz in just 5 minutes. 
We havent introduced a bottle since she was a couple days old (needed to supplement at first but not now). I plan on hubby giving her a bottle after dinner  tonight

Answer

My LO is 2weeks and I BF but also have been pumping(bottles) here and there so when my husband has her he can feed her without waking me up ( it also gives boobs and nips a break). I found the bottles that are similar to my nipple help. She’s a very good eater! I also saw a lactation specialist who said if you want to give a bottle the best time is between 3-6 weeks after that it might be very difficult to introduce it!
