The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

There is no such thing as quitting bottles in the newborn period. Newborns (0-28 days) are fed only with breast milk or, on doctor's recommendation, formula. If your baby is being bottle-fed, the bottle is already their feeding tool, so there's no need to "quit" it.

If the question is about quitting a pacifier, it's also not recommended to quit a pacifier during the newborn period. A pacifier can be used during sleep in a newborn because it has a protective effect in reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Quitting would be earliest considered between 6-12 months.

If the question is about stopping supplementary bottles while breastfeeding, this should only happen in the newborn period when a doctor says supplementation is no longer needed, and it should be done gradually.

In short: in a newborn, there's no "quitting" agenda for any feeding tool—this is the period to focus on your baby's needs.
