Breastfeeding/bottle

The breastfeeding classes I’ve taken recommend waiting until baby is 3-4 weeks old to introduce a bottle! That way breastfeeding is well established

What Tabitha said. Also finding a bottle/nipple that is recommended by lactation consultants. The hot button phrase you can look up “triangle method” to help with the search!

I introduced it when even I felt like it. I think people make to much of a fuss about it. I’ve never had a problem going back and forth with either of my kids

We introduced the bottle as soon as I felt I needed that extra bit of sleep, maybe around a couple weeks, usually during night feeds. It also helped with putting baby to sleep as it seemed easier for him to put her down than for me to.

We introduced a bottle right away because I couldn’t produce milk at first and my baby never had a problem feeding from the breast or the bottle. He also used a paci from day 1. It worked for us and he switched back and forth with no problems once my milk came in

We did both immediately at birth and had no issues personally. I've heard from people I know who waited a few weeks to introduce the bottle and the baby absolutely refused the bottle.

Also, look for bottles that have a wide and gradual slope... Pigeon, Lansinoh, Gulicola, Nuk perfect match... etc.

We immediately started one bottle after the first night feed to give me a longer stretch of sleep. I’ve never had issues with nipple confusion with my kids!

I primarily breastfed, but began offering a bottle day 1 in the hospital. Nipple confusion is complete crap IMO. Baby never had any issues with latch or with supply.

Everyone I know go waited struggled with their baby taking a bottle.

Recommendation is waiting a month or so to establish supply. But whenever it won't confuse the baby or anything
