It's probably a bit early for me to be thinking about this, as I'm 35 weeks pregnant and so have no idea how breastfeeding will work out for me yet! But I've been wondering about when/how to introduce bottles (of expressed milk, ideally, but again will obviously depend on how it's going which I don't know yet!). I see a lot of 'the baby just refused to ever take a bottle' stories, but I'm going back to work at 5/6 months, so it's really important that the baby will take a bottle - but on the other hand I also know that some people think you can disrupt breastfeeding entirely if you use a bottle too early. Any thoughts on what, ideally, I should be aiming for in the first few weeks? No bottle until later, or slowly introducing from the beginning?
