Breast feeding advice!

Hi,

I'm looking for a bit of advice please, I'm 24 weeks pregnant and planning what I need to buy etc for feeding baby!

I would like to breast feed but also want my partner to be able to provide feeds as well therefore, what are the best bottles for baby to have when taking breast milk via a bottle?
Will we need to buy specific types of bottles to mimic the nipple so I'm able to breast feed between bottle feeds? I don't want to be using formula unless I absolutely have to.

Any recommendations on breast pumps? I was thinking of electric but they are expensive so what would be the best manual pump? Would you recommend a single or double?

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much!

With bottles, MAM are supposed to be good for breastfed babies I think but it's a bit of trial and error. My DD2 won't take them, but DD1 did.

I like the Bella baby pump - it is electric but it's cheaper than some of the others and works well. It's also a double which means its quicker than using one on one side at a time.

Hi, Im 19 weeks pregnant. I'm planning to breastfeed at first then express as I have to go back to work after 4 months. I will also be pumping at work. I've been looking at the wearable MOMCOZY pumps. and MAM bottles.
If breast feeding doesn't work I am happy to use formula!
