In today's episode we're talking all about bottles—starting from the initial drops of colostrum to finding the perfect bottle that supports your baby's oral development. I'm addressing myths around nipple confusion, the importance of pace bottle-feeding, and finding bottles that benefit both breastfed and bottle-fed babies. I'm even covering one of the biggest questions most pumping and breastfeeding moms have when it comes to bottles-how much do I prepare? You'll leave this episode feeling more informed about how you can incorporate bottles into your breastfeeding and pumping journey.

I share:

• Advantages of initially using hand expression over pumping for colostrum + adjusting feeding tools (syringes, cups, etc) based on baby's needs
• Advice on the timing for introducing bottles
• Recommendations for feed volumes at different baby stages.
• How to determine the optimal amount per bottle feeding based on the baby's feeding frequency
• The importance of bottle selection for developmental reasons
