What month did you introduce a bottle

Question

Asking because my son is 1m old and I have lots of freezer milk was thinking another month but not sure because I still want him to breastfeed but I dont want the milk to go to waste.. wish I would of known about laying them flat sooner😂🤦‍♀️

Answer

Introduce it now. 
Too many moms wait the recommended 4-6 weeks to introduce a bottle and by then it’s too late. Their baby ends up too picky and never takes a bottle even after spending hundreds of dollars on different brands of bottles. 
Just be sure to pacefeed to protect your breastfeeding relationship. If your baby is 1 or 2 months old, start with 2-3 ounces of breastmilk in a bottle.

Answer

Well if you put the milk in the freezer then it stays good for at least 4 months to 1 year depending on the type og freezer you use. So you can wait till your child is 2 momths and the milk will still not go to watse. My son is almost 2 months and I just introduced him to a bottle.

Introduce now!! I waited much too long and my girl won't take a bottle because I didn't time it right.
