Any tips on how to teach baby how to use bottle?

Baby is breastfed but I’d like to be able to pump milk and give my husband the opportunity to feed with bottle. Mainly so I can hit some physio and Pilates classes and have a glass of wine now and then.

lactation consultant told to introduce bottle with 6/7 weeks, which we did and it worked. Stopped though because baby would cry while feeding afterwards. Midwife said to stop with bottle to avoid him preferring it. In the end he was gassy. Now we started again with 10 weeks but he not suck the bottle anymore. Just play around and lick it.

We tried different bottle brands, my husband tried the feeding and I leave the room to avoid confusion or baby smelling the milk to no avail.

Does Anyone got any tips?

ps. Sorry if tip is not the right word - not a native speaker
