Teach baby how to use a bottle very early on! You’ve heard the horror stories of babies refusing to eat from a bottle when mom goes back to work. So here is a tip to prevent that! I was lucky enough that my lactation consultant told me, but for those that don’t know, babies start to lose the instinct of sucking after about 6 weeks so if you haven’t already introduced a bottle it’s much harder to teach them how to use one after this! And just like other skills, practice is key. So even if you are EBF give baby a bottle of pumped milk like 1-2x a week so they can keep the skill! You may need to try out different bottles to find the one your baby prefers. Your future self will thank you!
