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
