Breastfeeding moms, when should I start trying bottle feed breast milk into the works so he will be ready to take the bottle when I return back to work in 5 wks? My last daughter STRUGGLED and refuse it forever and it concerned me...

Well I asked at the hospital and the lactation and pediatrician said wait at least 2-3 weeks when latching has been established and then integrate the bottle

Thanks that helps...

I would do 2 weeks if you're going back at 5.

He's one week now, so yes in 5 wks...🥺

just start slowly. And it helps to have someone else give it to him not you if you can

We introduced a bottle in the beginning of the second week. My son wasn’t gaining weight so we had to monitor his intake 🤷🏼♀️ he’s accepted a bottle and boob with no issues.

Yeah my first 2 did as well but my last baby she wasnt having it and I took a full 12wks off with her and the others my this one I am going back to work at the 6 wks mark... I was just worried about him doing the same not liking the bottle...

I had to start pumping quickly because he absolutely refused to latch on the first two weeks and I knew I wanted to breastfeed so now he latches on and I have some stocked up in the freezer already
