Question mamas!! How long is 'too long' to wait before giving baby a bottle? I plan on exclusively breastfeeding for a while, but when her daddy is home from work i want him to be able to feed her and spend that time with her. i dont want her to fight for one option and hate the other though! when would a good time to start her on a bottle be?

Wait a month before introducing a bottle so there's no nipple confusion, then you have to find a bottle baby likes. The most helpful thing I found was once we had a good bottle I only allowed her dad to feed her so she didn't associate me with the bottle it helped a lot for her to focus on her dad feeding her and me be out of the room or out of sight so she wasn't wondering when I was going to take her and feed her
It honestly just depends on the baby. My daughter was greedy and didn't care either way😂. But I'd say wait at least a month and when he does feed her don't be in the same room caus they are like little breast hounds and she will sniff you out lol
Once you do introduce the bottle just practice with daddy because they may want your breast and again pace feed.
It is recommended to wait until 6 weeks to prevent nipple confusion and so that they don't prefer the bottle over breast. And look up pace feeding!
Tommee Tippee bottles work great for baby's that are breastfeeding as well as bottle feeding! They act just like a real nipple so the babies don't get to confused. :D
