Lise - I use the Avent BPA free bottles. I breast fed Jasmine for all feeds bar one each day. My DH would feed her when he got home from work each day - we found that it was a wonderful bonding time for the two of them. I did try to express, but found that it was quite hard work as per Poppyfairy above. As Jasmine had been fed some formula top ups in the hospital due to it taking me some time for my milk to come in, we continued this at home by making the DH feed a formula feed. This worked for us although I know there are a lot of people out there that would advise not to do this. I found that my supply was never compromised and the fact that it allowed my DH to bond over feeding time was fantastic.

GL, I know that it is quite an emotional issue for some people. My advice - do what is right for you and your baby.
