breast milk in a bottle

[rhiannon1990]

Hi
I'm 29 weeks with my 2nd child I would like to give him breast milk but I don't want to breast feed. Has anyone else done this before that could give me some advice :) thanks

Pumping more than breastfeeding damaged my.supply and I dried up. You need to breastfeed exclusively.especially in the beginning to establish a good supply. Yoi could try but I think normally it dorsnt work.too well xx

I did it for a couple weeks, exclusively pumped, and woke up one morning to my breastmilk being completely gone. It works for some, doesn't work for others, a LOT of women I've talked to that exclusively pumped dried up unexpectedly. If I wouldn't have dried up, I thought it was great, he took the bottle easily and still got breastmilk, and I was still losing weight!
