Question about transitioning to bottles

F

Mar 91 min read

So we're thinking about introducing bottles soon so I can do more feedings and give my wife a break. She's been exclusively nursing for 6 weeks. Has anyone done this successfully? I'm worried about nipple confusion or her rejecting the bottle. Also what bottles did you guys use? There's like a thousand options and I don't want to waste money on stuff that doesn't work.

Six weeks in and ready to tag in is awesome man. My wife appreciated the break more than I can say. Just make sure you're using bottles made for combo feeding if you stay with nursing too.

We started bottles around week 4 and it went smooth. Just go slow with it, maybe one bottle a day at first to let her supply adjust. Helped my wife get some actual rest.
