Nipple confusion

I am latching my 8 days old newborn currently. What should I do because I read that I should not introduce bottle to him now. How else can I feed my excess breast milk ?

You can try with syringe:) aim the tip into the corner of the mouth and feed little by little. To help, you can insert in a clean finger to baby’s mouth to suck while you feed. Super effective and no nipple confusion.

I bottle fed my LO when he's 2d old. until now he is OK to latch and drink by bottle. 👍 no worries ya. just latch him as much as possible and bottle feed him when necessary

If latching is already sufficient you don't need to bottle feed. Excess milk that you pump out can be frozen for up to 6 months for future uses

U can pump out and store in milk bags. Keep in freezer

Syringe or cup feed works
