Your Baby Must Breastfeed For Every Meal
Another oft-repeated myth is that if you bottle feed your baby, she'll start rejecting your breast. That's just not true — as long as you let your baby completely master breastfeeding.

If you introduce it earlier, you might find her preferring the bottle over the breast. But really, if that's the case, don't stress out. It doesn't mean you have to give up breast milk — you can always pump your milk and put it into a bottle. It just requires a little more foresight and planning.
