EBF - when will you introduce bottle?

Question

LO has a great latch and gaining weight well. I would like my husband and mom to be able to feed her. How soon can I introduce a bottle? Currently 2 weeks old.

Answer

3 days after birth. We had to supplement. My little guy has no trouble going between the breast and bottle...as long as he's getting food, he's happy.

Answer

He's been taking a bottle here and there since he was about 4 days old, and we've had no problem with confusion or anything.

Answer

My LO had his first bottle at 4 days old and never had any issues with nipple confusion. We had to give him vitamin d supplement for his jaundice and I wanted him to body to his dad as quickly as possible. He is now 4 months old and loves eating period! Hahaha. I have two friends that waiting until their baby was two months old and now baby won't take a bottle with breastmilk only with formula and even then it is hit or miss. I suggest do it when you are comfortable. You know your baby better than anyone else :)

Answer

My little guy was in the nicu so he had a bottle first. He was about 10 days old when we first tried breastfeeding. He now exclusively breast feeds at a month but we're gonna start introducing again in prep for returning to work. I'm not expecting to have issues. He went between the two fine in the nicu.

Answer

My LO was 8 days old I had an appt I couldn't miss or take the baby to. Shes a month old now and takes a bottle 2-3 times a day from her daddy or relatives who come to watch her so I can get a break. We've had no nipple confusion!
