How long do you suppose to strictly breastfeed before pumping and letting the baby drink out of a…

I dont know the rules but i been pumping since she was born.

4 to 6 weeks before pumping is recommended

@embracemthrhd2, thanks I thought I read something about waiting to let them use a bottle, not sure

@beebaby, ok thanks I thought I seen that somewhere up here

That is when you start to regulate a little bit more

@beebaby, if you do it before....that means baby have a high chance of not wanting to latch on anymore?

Possibly and nipple confusion. Also it can cause clogged ducts and mastitis for you. Those are all possibilities. Doesn't mean it will happen.

My daughter has never had a bottle and won't take one. We are trying to get her to take one now.

I work over time so she feeds from the bottle while i work and latches just fine when i come home. Shes 4 months now and been doing this since 5 weeks.... but every bodies baby is different... life just happened up over here so i had to do what i gotta do. Lol

@beebaby, oh wow!

@embracemthrhd2, trust me I understand that lol I know when I go back to work he will have to be on a bottle
