Start offering consistent daily bottles after 4 weeks of age to prevent the nightmare of BOTTLE REFUSAL aka when the baby decides they only want milk from the source and it is super stressful for you and the baby.
The bottle can be a "snack" (½-1 oz) or a replacement for a full feeding. Do what works for you!
Make sure the baby is awake when first learning to take the bottle.
Remember… Mainstreet Pediatrics has experts in infant feeding which includes BOTTLEFEEDING, so if you are having issues remember to reach out!
