I'm breastfeeding but will be going back to work part time soon. I want to start pumping my milk and give it to my 4 week old in a bottle. Does anybody have any advice or suggestions for me?

I recommend using a nipple that mimics the breast...there are lots of different kinds out there (Avent, Playtex Premium Nurser, Dr. Brown - expensive though, Evenflo Elan). You may have to try a few before you find one your baby likes. Also, for those 1st few tries, have someone else bottle feed. Your baby may reject the bottle from you, but accept it from someone else...b/c they know that milk comes from you, not a bottle.

thats going to hard to do! try not take the baby all the way at one time. put some of your breast milk and the baby some time. when your baby start reaching for ur breast the baby wont them. so just take it one at a time.
