DD is 2.5 weeks old - HV told me to start giving EBM in a bottle asap - what do you think?

I mentioned to the HV today how pooped etc i am and asked when could i give EBM in a bottle so that e.g. DH could do night feeds, I expected her to say 6-8wks or similar, but she said right away, start now, get her used to bottle etc. I'm terrified that she might take one bottle then not go back on the breast - is this likely?

Thank you all so much.

The BFC really helped with the latch and things are much less painful now. I can't feed lying down on the sore side as I can't see latch properly and it was making it worse, but I am trying it on the other side.

She's 3 weeks now so I think I'm going to set myself 4 weeks as a mental target for maybe trying EBM in a bottle.

This is not easy is it?!
