Just wondering? 😊

Question

My boyfriend said he's going to give me a break and get up with the baby for a few day's when they come so I can get some rest would it be ok to pump and bottle feed at night and breast feed in day? Or will baby become concussed?

Answer

You don't want to introduce a bottle before 4-6 weeks. It can cause nipple confusion and baby nursing helps build your supply. I would nurse for the first 6 weeks exclusively then you could pump and let him feed baby but you would still have to wake up to pump since nursing is a supply and demand system. If you skip feedings without pumping your body will make less milk

Answer

Some babies get confused, but most are champions at both. Just make sure you get breastfeeding up and going well before a bottle is introduced.

One important thing is that your supply might go down as a result of not feeding at night, but once every now and then won't hurt!

Good boyfriend btw ☺️👍🏻
