They say 4-6 weeks but at what stage were you able to breastfeed & bottle feed expressed milk for some feeds?

Question

Thanks

Answer 1

i was doing it from the start i have a lot of kids 8 actually,and very busy so had to do some of each the baby  was fine ,

Answer 2

I waited until 6 weeks because breast feeding was a rocky start for us.  If you have a good latch and your supply is good then maybe in a week or so?

Answer 3

I breast fed and formula fed from one week old. She done fine on it. Though I am not suggesting formula to you, I am saying that my daughter took both, bottle and breast ok from one week old.

Answer 4

I did it for the 1st time when my son was around 10-12wks & he took the bottle perfectly.

God Bless

Answer 5

4 weeks,when i had a good supply

Answer 6

I started expressing when my baby was 3 weeks old.  He had taken to the breast really well and I had a really good supply of milk by that time.  He took to the bottle right away and I was able to feed him both ways from then on.  There was no nipple confusion.  Every baby is different though, obviously.  x

Answer 7

we did it right away.  We spent a day in special care and they gave us some really ivaluable advice - one part being that babies are FAR more adaptable to the bottle breast change than we think particularly if you do it straight away or very early!

Answer 8

Im sorry but I dont really get this question. Please be more clearer.

Answer 9

I expressed and bottle fed in the hospital - baby was in special care!
