All the way through my pregnancy I have been determined to breastfeed. And still plan on doing when baby arrives, but I just feel so confused and worried about exactly how I am going to do it.
I have been told that if I do breastfeed I am not to give her a bottle due to nipple confusion? Is this true?
I do have a breastpump and did want to express some feeds so that OH can also share the duties of feeds and also get the bond that I will have with the baby.
My plan was: to express during the day, and breastfeed during the night. Will I be able to do this?
Also do I use newborn teats for the bottles? Am going to be a 1st time mum and am absolutely clueless about it all.
It really worries me that I'll be a rubbish mum
My mum will be staying with me for a fortnight after baby is born to help me out when needed but I just dont want to seem stupid, if you get me?
Also when is best time to steralise the bottles and steraliser? I am due in 12 days.
Thank you for any input/advice.
