How soon have you other momma's who have already had their little one's or have more than one child incorporated the bottle? Im a nanny and not really wanting to breastfeed in front of the kids all the time. Plus if she gets sick or I want to have a date night with my man I want her to take a bottle no problem. Im not due until September but would like to know what y'all think.

Sweet I have a medela breast pump just gotta get all new parts for it. Hopefully she will take a bottle and breastfeed. I really want to breastfeed but I know I will need help from time to time thats why im asking.

I breast fed for 3 days then switched to formula cuz i didnt like breast feeding around people, even with a cover. But my baby never latched right to start with and i had to use a nipple sheild.

You probably should wait a bit to incorporate the bottle. I know my son never took the bottle I had to wean him off with a sip cup at 9 months.

On the walmart site I think Ots medela that has a nipple for switching from boob to bottle easily.

Teach your baby to use a cover from the beginning.  I'd wait a few weeks then try maybe once a day for just a few minutes.  Many babies can easily go back and forth.  However every baby is f different.
