Hi , If you're returning to work, start bottle-feeding at least two weeks before your start date so you both have time to adjust.Sucking milk from a bottle requires different mouth and tongue movements than breastfeeding, so it may take your baby a little time to get used to the change. You can extract the breast milk and feed the baby with that only.. and then slowly move on o formula milk
