I would like to try my baby with a bottle of expressed breast milk, to give some flexibility going forward and hopefully to know that she will take it.
She will be 4 weeks on Tuesday. She was born 5 weeks early and currently weighs 5lb 3oz (4lb 7oz at birth).
Any tips on when to try giving her a bottle? Breastfeeding seems to be going well so I don’t want to jeopardise this!
I currently have a Haakaa silicon pump but wondering whether to invest in an Ardo Calypso electric pump as this is what I used in hospital. Am I right in saying that if she does take a bottle, I would then need to express in place of that feed to avoid supply issues?
Any tips or advice gratefully received.
