Full Question:
I'm planning on breastfeeding when my daughter is born and am thinking about getting a breast pump so she can also be fed breast milk from a bottle. I would like to know if / how long I should wait before I introduce bottles into the feeding routine, or could it cause her confusion?
Answer:
It is best to wait until about 4-6 weeks before expressing to ensure that your supply of breast milk is fully established. Every baby will be different in terms of how quick they establish their suckling on the breast technique so once your baby has this established, you can introduce the bottle of expressed breast milk.
