How to introduce bottle to breastfed baby? 😭

Question

Hi mommies! Pahingi naman po tips on how to introduce a bottle sa breastfed baby? Back to work na po ako next month pero ayaw pa din po ng baby ko mag dede sa bottle. Breastfeeding pa din po ang gusto ko. Twice a week lang naman po ako sa office kaya need magbottle. We have tried pigeon, avent and yoboo pero di niya bet. Try ko ba ulit or need to change bottles na talaga? Yung wala pong nipple confusion sana. Gaano po ba katagal bago mahiyang si baby niyo?Pahelp naman po pls. Thank you!#pleasehelp #firsttimemom #firstbaby #firstmom #FTM #adviceplease

Aw dont worry, ganyan talaga ang dami ng babies sa simula pero malalampas din yan! A few of us tried different bottles kaya maybe try one more brand, maraming moms swear by Philips Avent Natural or even the slow-flow nipples kasi mas malapit sa breastfeeding latch, pero honestly trial and error talaga siya per baby. One tip na super effective sa friends ko is maybe let your partner or yaya try first, kasi parang alam nila na may mama (boobs!) kaya mas ayaw, pero pag iba nag-offer mas willing hehe. Patience lang talaga, some babies took us 2-3 weeks before kumupas ang fussiness, kaya hang in there mama, youre doing great and ang twice a week lang mo is super manageable para sa feeding!
