I didn’t introduce bottles to my baby and at 2 months she was practically starving because she couldn’t latch anymore and had never used a bottle so she refused them. We had to be in the hospital with an NG Tube until we got her to take MAM Bottles. I recommend introducing bottles sooner rather than later so you avoid that scary experience. My niece is breastfeeding from one boob, pumping the other, and when baby is done on the boob she offers the bottle. It’s working for her and I might try it myself with my next baby. Also, MAM nipples were a literal GOD SEND for us. My baby latches onto them the best and really they’re the only nipple she likes. She doesn’t even like Pacifiers.
