Am looking for advice - DC 1 and 2 were both breast-fed until 11 months. Made a half hearted attempt at expressing with DC2 but it didn't suit me, as it's just easier to get a boob out than sterilise bottles and hook myself up to a pump. When DC3 arrives, I'd like to add in a formula bottle in the evening, mainly because DC1 has health problems which might need hospital stays and I don't want to be completely tied to baby and unable to support him.
So, when do I introduce a bottle and is there a technique for getting it right? I don't want baby to prefer bottle over breast as bf is something I quite enjoy since I'm chronically lazy and it's the best excuse for sitting on my arse that I've ever found ha ha!
