I am planning to breast feed if all goes to plan, but due to being self employed I will still be going to occasional meetings etc when baby is only a few weeks old so need to be sure that baby will not refuse a bottle, otherwise I will be in a pickle!
Therefore I am intending to try and get baby to take a bottle when he/she is only a couple of weeks old and to make at least one feed a day a bottle. Also means that DH can have the chance to feed baby too which will be nice.
I'm a bit confused as to which breast pump, bottles and steriliser to buy though. I assume that the bottles and steriliser need to be the same brand otherwise the bottles won't fit? If baby refuses a particular type of bottle/teat am I then going to have to buy new bottles and steriliser? (could get rather expensive!)
Can breast milk be frozen in the actual bottles?
Which breast pump is best? Once expressed, how is the milk stored?
Sorry if I'm being a bit dim but it's really confusing me and I'd really appreciate some guidance. Thanks in advance.
