How often to bottle feed ebf baby to avoid bottle refusal?

[KnockedUpMell]

Dd is 10w now and ebf. She will take a bottle of expressed milk at the moment but I was curious about others experiences of how often I should feed using a bottle to enure she doesn't refuse the bottle when I need her to take it. I find expressing a real faff and would like to do it as infrequently as I need to! But on the other hand I would like to be able to leave her occasionally for a few hours so I have a life too...

DS1 was fine only having one once a week or so, or even every couple of weeks - I too couldn't deal with the faff of expressing for a daily bottle until I absolutely had to when I went back to work.

I would do one a day or every other day, to be on the safe side.

From talking to others it's luck of the draw. DD took a bottle from weeks 5-10 and then she had a cold and wouldn't take it EVER AGAIN. She was a serial bottle refuser and never went back on again. But from six months, she went onto a Doidy cup and at about 8 months, she was fine to take a complete feed from the cup.

We've gone at least a week Inbetween bottles with my son (6 months) and he's been fine, takes it straight away everytime. But I know that others experience differs
