We did at least one bottle a day since the beginning since we wanted him to always be used to the bottle. He didn't have any nipple confusion (he took a pacifier too) so we were lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-introduce-a-bottle#post-127213 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:20:06 +0000 regberadaisy 127213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks girlies!<br /> You have all made me feel better! I was seriously starting to consider asking my husband to drop me off at home after the ceremony.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-introduce-a-bottle#post-127201 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:18:30 +0000 lavender 127201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started a couple of days after she was born. So far she has no issues of going back and forth between bottle and breast. I usually give her 2-3 bottles a day. Oh and she is 3 weeks old btw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-introduce-a-bottle#post-127199 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:18:15 +0000 chopsuey 127199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave LO a bottle on day 2. She was jaundiced and I needed to supplement with formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-introduce-a-bottle#post-127188 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:15:00 +0000 Rubies 127188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to give LO a bottle in the first few days of her life (we had a rough start to breastfeeding) and then again on her 1 month bday. Then soon after that, she outright refused the bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-introduce-a-bottle#post-127174 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:06:43 +0000 regberadaisy 127174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read that it's best to introduce a bottle for the first time around 4-6 weeks.<br /> We have a family wedding to go to on May 18th which depending on when LO arrives will put her at 3-4 weeks old.<br /> Which means I would have to try it for the first time before the wedding to make sure she takes to it, right?</p> <p>I'm afraid of introducing a bottle too early!</p> <p>Unfortunately it's not a church wedding so there's no time lapse in between I can go home and nurse. So we will likely have to leave a few bottles with my mom to feed her.</p> <p>When did you first introduce a bottle to LO? </p>
