breast feeding and bottle feeding

I have heard that if you are going to breast feed to wait a week or two before introducing the bottle, which I want to pump at times so my DH can do feedings also. Is this the amount of weeks to wait or should you wait longer? Chat Icon

I heard that you should wait 4 weeks. I think it depends on the baby, some switch between bottle and breast easier than others. The mothers on the Parenting board might know.

You should at least wait until you have a good supply established and a good latch. Usually around 4 to 6 weeks.
