Breastfeeding question

[mommy4tb]

I breastfed my last child and had a problem with her not taking the bottle once I pumped and would actually go hours part a feeding because she refused to take a bottle. I don't want this too happen with my next child. When should I introduce the bottle to a baby that it's being breastfed?

So my son is 3 weeks tomorrow, my husband gave him a bottle last night and he took it no problem. This morning he is back to breastfeeding with no issues :)

This happened to my brother and his wife they ended up having to put the breast milk into a sippy cup in order for me to baby sit so that he would still get food because he refused to take a bottle and for some reason took the sippy cup.

Some babies get nipple confusion, though. It can mess with breastfeeding if they have any trouble latching.

I just had my baby and I feel like I'm not producing much and im still in the hospital so for a little snack i fed him some formula or you could pump and feed them bottle. He's only two days old and adjusts to bottles and nipples very well. I think you could pretty much introduce them whenever

We introduced the pacifier at 2 weeks...he's almost 3 weeks now, hopefully he takes to it well because it would be really stressful not to be able to bottle feed. What did you do??

[mommy4tb]

It was horrible because it made it very hard to go anywhere without her. She took to the best very well and we didn't use a pacifier, I did wait till she was almost 2Mon to try the bottle but no matter which one we tried she would hunger strike if I didn't breast feed. Good luck and I guess I will have to try earlier I guess.

I heard between 2-4 weeks. I've never heard of this happening. I was debating introducing a bottle today and now I think I might...
