Marsha Walker has an annotated article  from ILCA publication that has 
this info about 1 bottle. Ask more questions though. Sometimes moms  are 
being pressured to give just one bottle so mom can sleep. This mom needs 
our support to have others do other things so she can breastfeed 
exclusively. However, if a mom is asking she might have need for your 
support and ways to make this work. Fro example,I had a mom who asked 
about this without giving too mulch more info on a phone call. It turns 
out after a brief conversation that she had severe PP depression with 
her first and was hospitilized. She was pregnagnt tith #2 and was told 
that she should not BF due to sleep deprivation.  Everyone, including 
her was terrified that the PP depression would reoccur.She felt that if 
she could have someone else give one bottle and get a stretch of sleep, 
she would be able to breastfeed the rest of the time. And this is what 
she did. I give her info about protecting her supply, preventing 
pluggged ducts etc. She went on  bbreastfeed and did not have the same 
problems with PP depression (was already on meds). She really did feel 
that the one stretch of sleep was what saved her. You gotta make it work 
and be creative! Ann Anderson,RN,IBCLC NJ
