When did you introduce a bottle?

[Itsychik]

How old was your LO and how did it go?

We want to introduce a bottle soon (my LO is almost 9 weeks old) and am wondering how it went over with others...

Thanks

Quite early I think, around 4 weeks. He used to have one each week so I could have a nights sleep. Now he refuses! Ha ha

I think Around 6 weeks. He wouldn't take it from me but then I made my mom try and now he takes them just fine. I've still never tried since then tho so idk if he'd take it from me

About a week old. I pump for times away from the house and to give her a dose of her vitamins in. She takes it or her pacifier or the breast.

DS1 first had one at 4 weeks & I plan to do the same this time too. He took it straight away from DH & from then on had a bottle of BM whenever I had to leave him. I did it quite early after hearing from 2 friends how their LOs refused bottles when they left it until they were around 4 months old. I liked to have the option to go somewhere for more than a couple of hours if I needed/wanted to.

5 weeks but that was only out of necessity as it was the only way we could get her to take her reflux medicine.
