Introducing a bottle If you're a breastfeeding mom, how long did you wait to introduce breast milk in a bottle for…

I was told to wait 4-6 wks so u have enough time to get a good supply going first .... Then go for it . ?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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
