breast feeding mother's

[emeryg]

Will the baby take bottles while breast feeding? I'll transfer my milk to bottle for when we go to public places but will baby even take my nipple as well as bottle considering there both different nipples and not coming from the same place I want to use bottle just for public places and I'll breast feed at home. If so what of bottles do I get??

Wait till 4 weeks to introduce it, but make sure you start before 6 weeks. Their sucking reflex disappears then and its difficult to introduce a bottle .after.  I didn't know that and waited too long. Its taken my son month and a half, and trying many different types before being able to drink even a couple ounces.

Its recommended for the first 4weeks u breastfeed exclusively before introducing bottles. One baby gets the hang of nursing then bring on the bottle.  Itll take some time for some babies.  That's what I did with both of  babies,  they both had dr brown bottles. This time I'm gonna use avent

I breastfeed my son for 3 1/2 months before i gave him a bottle and he would only take the lanolin momma bottles.  It took him a few tries before he could get latched on right but he finally got it.

It depends on the baby.  I have four kids and 2 of them simply couldn't figure out how to drink from a bottle and the other two did.  All 4 were breastfed for a minimum of 6 months.

My son would not take a bottle at all! I think he just really liked the comfort of nursing. He is now 7 months and still will not take one. Every baby is different.

Baby will take bottle but my daughter would not for the life of her take a bottle from me.

Get what bottles you like. I like avent brand ones personally, but I've used others and liked them just as well.

Yes, baby will take bottles just fine! I did breastfeeding and bottle feeding. I dont believe in "nipple confusion".
