Is it okay to introduce a bottle while breastfeeding?

Many parents worry about 'nipple confusion,' but collective experience suggests that introducing a bottle can be a lifesaver for maternal mental health and feeding flexibility. While some pediatricians may advise against it initially, many babies successfully transition between breast and bottle without issues. If you choose to introduce a bottle, remember that ensuring your baby is well-fed and content is the ultimate priority, and there is no single 'right' way to feed your child.
