Listen Later

In this week's episode, Pediatrician and mother Dr. Blair Rolnick discusses the importance of introducing a bottle to breastfed babies and provides helpful recommendations. She emphasizes that introducing a bottle around three to four weeks allows time to establish milk supply and for babies to learn the skill of bottle feeding.

Dr. Rolnick explains the signs to look for and the pacing techniques to ensure successful bottle feeding. Additionally, she recommends starting with small amounts and increasing gradually, as well as choosing the right bottle and nipple for the baby's preference and feeding needs. Ultimately, Dr. Rolnick encourages parents to consider their family's lifestyle and potential time away from the baby, suggesting early bottle introduction to prevent bottle refusal.
