>Once breastfeeding has been established one to two bottles per day
will not interfere with breastfeeding.<

I would not feel comfortable including that sentence.
It has been my experience that while one or two bottles a day may not
affect SOME babies, it does affect many others. While some
recommendations indicate waiting for four weeks after birth and others
recommend six to eight weeks, I have seen even three  month and older
babies have some confusion and even start to refuse the breast after
bottles have been introduced.
This is not to say that no mothers should ever introduce a bottle,
especially if they are planning regular, long-term separations, like
going back to work or school. However, they should be aware that there
are no guarantees involved and also be taught other methods of
feeding.
