Introducing Your Breastfeeding Baby to Bottle Feeding
Two key elements to bottle feeding are when and how to introduce the bottle to your baby, and how to protect your milk supply. You can introduce a bottle at any time but an ideal time is between 4-6 weeks old. This gives you time to make sure your milk supply is well established and that your baby is latching and feeding well at the breast. If you introduce the bottle too early, some babies have difficulty maintaining effective breastfeeding, but offering that first bottle too late can create a bottle refusal. Usually with a little time and patience, babies learn to bottle feed well while successfully continuing to breastfeed.
