It's always good for a baby to know how to take a bottle. One bottle of formula a day will not hurt the baby, and it's a good way for Dad to join in on the fun (especially for those 3am feedings!) If a baby gets too accustomed to the breast, he or she may not take a bottle when it's needed. Just a thought!
