Introducing a bottle

Baby no.5 but have always breastfed without expressing. I need to go to hospital on Monday and will likely be there most of the day- my husband can attend with me for part of the day but will need to leave to pick up the older kids from school/nursery so he will have to take my youngest with him (4 months old). I’ve expressed some milk tonight and plan to express as much as I can tomorrow so there is some milk in the fridge for her. But has anyone got any tips on getting her to accept this? I have Tommie Tippee slow flow teats- are they the right ones for a 4 month old?

feeling a bit out my depth with it all and ended up with her having to come into hospital last weekend when I had an emergency admission as I had no way of feeding her.

extremely appreciative of all advice- thanks in advance!

4 months old usually have stage 2, but if she has never taken a bottle before may be better to start slower?

Thank you. Am I better to store milk in fridge or freezer until Monday?
