When is it safe to introduce a bottle of pumped breast milk?

My son is 9 days old and I have only been breastfeeding the entire time. I breastfed my first son, but because he was jaundice at birth I had to pump and bottle feed him for the first week or so. That is not the case this time, so I'm just curious when it is safe to introduce a bottle ( to avoid nipple confusion). I have pumped a few times and have some milk stored in the freezer, his father would like to be able to feed him if I should need to go out for more than a few hours. So my question is how long should we wait to introduce a bottle of pumped breast milk.

They say 6 weeks but ive never had a problem with confusion. My last baby took only bottles of pumped milk for 2 months then one day he took to the breast and refused bottles there after
