My partner is keen to do at least one feed a day when our baby is born in Jan/Feb, perhaps more (he reckons he'll happily do the night feeds- wonder how that will pan out once he starts back at work, ha ha...)
Our plan is for me to express milk- so between 1 and 3 bottles a day I would have thought. TBH though I don't even have a clue how many times a baby wakes up at night and needs feeding! Total novice, as you can see.
Does anyone have any experience of sharing feeds with their partner and using breastmilk exclusively? Advice would be much appreciated.
Did it all work out or was it not worth the hassle? Did the baby "mind"? Which breast pumps were great/rubbish for this way of feeding? How do you store the milk? Do you need to warm it up?!
Sorry for all the questions! I've had a rifle through past threads but can't find anything which describes what we're planning to do. Am clueless but really want to make this work.
Thanks.
