My milk came in ten days after my LO was born so we used a Medela SMS system with formula from day 2 and a bottle starting on day 4 or 5.
I hope my milk comes in earlier this time!

He got his first bottle at 21 days old (I only remember because it was DH's birthday).
-
Within an hour of being born
-
She was 3 weeks old because we had to go to a funeral and the person who fed her was nervous since she had never had a bottle before that she wouldn't take to it, but she did!
-
At about an hour old - he wasn't breathing at birth, and even though he stated breathing within a minute, they took him to the nursery for 4 hours overnight. But it was just the one bottle. He didn't get another one until 3 weeks.
-
When he was a little over a week old we started incorporating an evening pumped bottle for DH to give him
-
4 weeks
-
A week old because breastfeeding was so painful for me at that point.
-
3 weeks.
-
4 weeks because I was nervous about nipple confusion and I wanted to make sure my supply was well established.
-
Day 2. She was dropping in weight fast (10% already by the next day)
