Who can tell me stuff about dual/combination feeding?

I'm 27+3 first my first and thinking about how I'd like to feed, and I think due to circumstances dual/combination feeding will work best for us.
I'd like to try BF and expressing initially (I know there's no shame in going to formula if these options don't work), but I need to return to work (long days 7-9pm) when baby is 26 weeks so he is going to go to nursery two days and his daddy is going to care for him on the other.
My question is really; how do I get him used to both me and the bottle?
I got a Munchkin latch set today, anti colic bottles and it says on the box"best for switching between breast and bottle"
Obviously I'm aware that could just be a clever marketing ploy!
I'd just be happy to have any tips as the only other baby I know was solely breast fed until 10 months and then totally refused a bottle.

I'd call one of the Bfing Helplines and talk through your plan with a BFC. Have you got the numbers?
