Introducing a bottle
If you're a breastfeeding mom, how long did you wait to introduce breast milk in a bottle for little one?
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.
Just seen a chick on offer up selling 12 mo old baby clothes, bottles and (gasp) baby milk! 5 cans for 10 bucks each. They damn near 30 in the store !!!!! Now is a bad mom? Idnt think so 😝😝😎

Ladies I would like to introduce my babygirl. Came to the hospital and was having full blown contractions and doctor decided to operate me. My delivery was so painful I felt everything.

I swear y’all kill me when people ask questions about THEIR child. If my child is 4m or 5m & I put a little cereal in the bottle it’s nothing wrong with it at all. NOTHING , especially if his doctor already gave me the go ahead. My god, each one teach their own though.
it’s 10 am where I am rn , do not come on my post with , articles about whatever. I’ll tell you kiss my ass today.
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
