Is it okay for me to give bottles?

I am bf and pumping.  Sometimes I want to go out and don't want to figure out bf in public.  Is it okay for me to give the bottle?  I know in the beginning they said to have DH or someone else do it.  What about now at 4+ weeks?  TIA!

    The only real issue is whether or not your LO will take it from you- otherwise I don't see any reason that you couldn't do that.

    Agreed.  They suggest someone else giving it b/c sometimes babies won't take it from mom.  There's no official reason why you shouldn't.  

    When Drew would take bottles (he stopped around 7 months) he would take them from me just fine.
