dd had her first bottle of ebm at 2wks old.  she did great.  today is my bday and i'm trying to decide how long dh and i will go out this evening. 

do you think it would be ok if dd had 2 or 3 bottles today or should i try to limit it to 1?  she is still so young so i wonder if that many bottles in a row will cause a problem with latch or bfing (athough she has been doing great since birth).  wdyt?

    We had to supplement LO with EBM after every feeding when he was born.  He had no issues (until now when he's refusing a bottle, but that's another story......)  Happy birthday!!!

    I think that one day of a couple of bottles won't cause a big issue. You may have to work for a day or two to get him back to BFing well or you may be just fine. Good luck and Happy Bday

    I think you're fine.  I was in my friend's wedding at 3 weeks pp and my baby had bottle ALL day and switches back and forth between boob and bottle like a champ now!  In my opinion it's better to get them used to both early on!
