Moms that EBF, how old was your DC when you went out to dinner alone with you DH?

DH keeps asking me when we can go out to dinner alone. DD is 3 months old and doesn't really have a schedule since I feed on demand. She has been going to bed lately around 8:30/9:00. I am still on the fence about introducing a bottle since he isn't ready to watch both kids alone. He says he is overwhelmed so I don't see the need to start to bottle feed.

Alone alone and never for more than 2 hours was about 6-7 months with Lukie. He doesn't take bottles.

I think it was 6 weeks to 2 months before MIL watched DS while we went out and he was feeding every 2 hours at that time. We were down the road so in a pinch I could come home. I also left a small bottle behind just in case. He was already used to the bottle at that time.

I wouldn't go unless he takes the bottle without a fight, it would make dinner very unrelaxing!

four weeks. but i introduced the bottle around 3 weeks.

4 months, but DS takes a bottle just as easily as the breast, so as long as I pump enough milk, he is fine without me.
