I am a working mom. expecting in nov. when to start bottle feed as i had to join back after 3 months and i was told babies should be introduced with mixed feed as early as possible other wise later they cause lot of problems bhavna replied. I am a first time mommy of a 7 month old baby boy. I would definately suggest to start bottle early.

I would advise you to buy a breast pump and feed ur baby with the bottle(breast milk) at least once a day. I am suggesting a pump since Breast milk is best for the baby. Moreove the doctor will always advice you to BF ur baby.The problems most babies have is with the bottle and not with the taste of formula. You can start formula around 10 days before going to work.

I used bottle a few times when my boy was around 2 months old and he had no issues. But i gave it up for a few months and then he refused to take on bottle even with breast milk.

If ur in india, i can assure you doctors and people will advise u against it. But belive me nobody will be there to help u out when the baby refuses to take the bottle.

Good luck sappi replied. hai,
