My LO is almost 4 weeks old, and I plan to go back to work at around 10 weeks... So around 6 more weeks. We have ebf so far, but we want to start introducing a bottle so that shell get used to it, and I'd like to start pumping and slowly building a stash, though there's no rush.

My thought is to add a pumping session after her first morning feeding (she feeds on one breast per feeding), and I thought we'd slowly introduce a bottle, like maybe 2 feedings per week at first? But I have no clue when to give the bottle - i was thinking maybe have dh give it at night before she goes to sleep, but I didn't know if she might be cranky if she's tired and not willing to try something new...also, I assume I'd have to stay up to pump anyway so I don't get engorged so I guess that wouldn't save me any sleep. Is there a good time of day for introducing the bottle?

She's too young to have any sort of schedule yet, but she is literally always hungry and doesn't sleep much at all during the day, so she's pretty much on my boob all day long. Bfing generally is going well but I think my supply is still adjusting to her needs, and I have an overactive letdown which she handles pretty well but occasionally struggles, especially at night.

So, any tips? Should I wait a little longer to introduce the bottle? Is there a good time to do so? I'm a little nervous about bottle feeding, even though I know it's necessary and that I'll love having some freedom once we get the hang of it!
