DD2 is a week old and breastfeeding going well. I am going back to work when she'll be about 5 months old, so we are going to have to move onto mixed feeding at some point (with DD1 I exclusively breast-fed for 9 months, in part because we could never get her to take a bottle).
I don't want to introduce a bottle too early and confuse her (I would express so it would be EBM in the bottle), but neither do I want to leave it too late (which is what I fear we did with DD1, who was about a month old when we first tried to offer her one). So just wondering when the best time is really - don't want to jeopardise breastfeeding, but neither do I want to end up with a baby who won't ever take a bottle, like we did last time!
