A. it's always recommended to avoid bottle feeding to the babies , as it is not good. Bottle feed- Not as efficiently utilized/absorbed as breast milk.Nutritional content depends on proper preparation (human error).Some babies have difficulty tolerating certain nutrients Breastfeed- Contains high levels of nutrients Easily digested and absorbed Content varies according to the milk production stage, which meets the changing nutrition requirements.

A. It's generally recommended to introduce bottle feeding to a child when breastfeeding is established, usually around 4-6 weeks of age. This allows the baby to develop a good breastfeeding routine before introducing a bottle. However, every child is different, and some may need to start earlier due to specific circumstances, such as medical reasons or the mother's need to return to work. It's essential to discuss timing and method with a pediatrician or lactation consultant to ensure a smooth transition and to address any concerns.
