One off bottle of F - do I need to pump?

[BusterB]

Very quick question..... As title says, my 7 month, EBF baby had a one off bottle of formula with his Daddy today... am hoping as BF is well established and this was a one off I can get away without pumping? Have been very lucky and never had an issues with blockages/mastitis - so think it will be fine, but wanted to check & would appreciate some advice...

I would have thought it would be fine . Just be aware you might feel a bit engorged so if that's the case you can always hand express off a little just to be comfortable, but given I'd think your supply is well-established then I can't see that a one-off bottle would matter too much x

I agree with PP.  LOs' demand for milk can often drop off if they are teething or ill, but this doesn't cause issues with supply. I'd think a one off bottle of formula would be similar.  Also agree, I'd just hand express a bit for comfort if things got too uncomfortable,

Thanks so much for responses ladies! I didn't even get engorged in the end, so all seems fine Was odd not feeding him myself for the first time in over 7 months but good to know we can do a bottle once in a while! Thanks again x

Yes, it's handy to have that option
