Introducing a bottle

If you're a breastfeeding mom, how long did you wait to introduce breast milk in a bottle for little one?

I heard you are suppose to wait 4-6 weeks but my baby has kidney so from day one I has to supplement with formula. I stopped after 4 days and he was fine with just breastfeeding

My first was 5 months when I went back to work. With my second it was 3 weeks when I went back to work. Breastfed for 15 and 16 months.

About 4 hours. I had a c section and had trouble sitting up to nurse so after trying I pumped and bottle fed. Gave him a pacifier the next morning, too. Maybe we were just lucky but I nursed for 8 months before I decided to go to formula. Never had an issue with bottles, nursing, or pacifiers.

I waited till my daughter was around 10 weeks. But I also own my own business so I took my daughter to work with me so I didn't have that issue of having to pump and bottle feed her while I was working. I did pump from day 1 and saved the milk for when my mom watched her on the weekends while I was working. She did great with taking the bottle and breast she preferred breast over bottle and I tried to never give her formula cuz it upset her tummy so badly and she would just spit it out cuz that stuff is gross!

1.5 days. Dd was jaundice. She was under lights for 24 hours. I pumped and bottle fed supplemented with formula then after 24 hours went back to breast. Had absolutely no issues switching like that. In fact I would say it was the best thing for our breastfeeding journey because it gave my poor chaffed nipples a day off to heal. And from that day it was completely smooth sailing for us.

Anyway to try introducing water and juice to my baby? She mostly eats baby food instead of a bottle now but I still offer her a bottle.
