breastfeeding and bottle feeding?

Question

I want to breastfeed and bottle feed (expressed milk) to my baby. I've been trying to find resources that talk about this, and I'm coming up empty. Anyone else do this? Did you have problems with nipple confusion? Any tips or helpful hints would be greatly appreciated!

Answer

My 5month old can take the breast, bottle, n pacifier with no problem since she was born. U just need to be consistent. I first started with a week of strictly breastfeeding, the following week I introduced bottles to her night time/early morning feedings, and I also interchanged my nipple with the pacifier every other fit that she had to help soothe her.

Answer

I did this with my first. It is recommended to wait until 6 weeks pp to introduce a bottle to avoid nipple confusion... After that introduce a bottle a day until you get into a routine. Same with pumping. You want your baby to regulate your milk supply exclusively in order to make sure it is meeting their needs without over producing which can cause problems for your body and also impact the duration of your ability to produce milk. It sounds complicated and intimidating, but once you get the hang of it all it is very natural and intuitive.

I breast feed my LO and she takes the occasional bottle of breast milk when someone needs to watch her. She's never experienced any nipple confusion thankfully. We use munchkin latch, advent, and mam bottles interchangeably as needed. Make sure to always use the slowest flow nipple.
