How to introduce a bottle

My LO is 1.5 weeks old and is EBF but I would like to introduce a bottle of expressed breast milk, ideally for early in the night (like a dream feed). Does anyone have any advice on the best way to do this and when is it best to introduce this bottle?

Find a bottle that has a teat similar to the natural shape of a nipple. Tt might be best or mam.
As she’s only 1.5 weeks it might be easy.
I combination fed my son due to tongue tie and it was easy to go from bottle to breast as it was all he knew.

Some may advise you not to introduce a bottle so quickly just like waiting to introduce a dummy until 5-6 weeks.
