Suggestions for introducing bottle for 1st time?

Going back to work in a few weeks and I've yet to start pumping. I'm planning on starting pumping and giving LO a bottle tomorrow. Any suggestions for pumping schedules and how to introduce a bottle for the first time? TIA

Re: Suggestions for introducing bottle for 1st time?

  • I pump after DS's first feeding in the morning.  No real suggestions on introducing the bottle, I had to supplement with formula for a few days before my milk came in so I just did it and DS took it fine.  I wouldn't worry though - maybe you'll have no issues.  GL.

  • The only suggestion I have is to try and have someone else feed the bottle.  I know some babies get frustrated with a bottle especially when they can smell Mum and want boob.
