Best time to introduce ebm in a bottle

[mummynumnum]

Bf successfully with ds like I did with dd. She would
never ever take a bottle though and keen for ds to be able to be able
to have a bottle of ebm if need be. When is best time to
introduce bottle of ebm. Ds is 2 wk old.

TBH I don't think it makes a difference - some babies just refuse bottles at about 4 months and it doesn't seem to make a difference whether they have had one from a young age or not. Hopefully your DD will not be one of these babies! I think that it is fairly uncommon when you look at all breastfed babies, so I wouldn't worry about it unless you have to.

If you do want to introduce a bottle early on anyway I would wait until after the first growth spurt (6-8 weeks) so that it doesn't interfere with breastfeeding getting established and supply/demand in the early days etc.
