Can breast milk be fed using a bottle?

Patient's question:

The baby has finally been born, but as a first-time mother, there are many things I don't understand yet. Can the doctor feed breast milk with a bottle?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is generally recommended not to use a bottle to feed a baby with breast milk, because in this way, the baby will easily not be full, and the mother also cannot ensure that there is enough breast milk. It is better to let the baby suck the nipple directly, because through the baby's stimulation, it will surpass the supply-demand balance state. Of course, at this time, the mother must drink more milk-boosting soups, such as more Crucian carp and tofu soup, peanut pig trotter soup, papaya and pork ribs soup, and so on.
