I've got to be a bridesmaid in 6 wks, and have never given ds a bottle - he is now almost 5 months old. The bride and mother have said its OK if I slip out to feed him (once in the service, and once during the meal) but I'm wondering if its worth trying to express and introduce a bottle for it, or if it'd be more hassle than its worth? He is only bfed and will just be 6mths by then so probably will not have started with solids yet.
Also - if I did introduce it, how,and when should I express, and would I have to keep a bottle a day going to keep him in the habit? Also would it be bad for my bfing?
