Is it true that baby doesn't latch after bottle feed?

Hi mummies. Husband sort of strongly insist that I must always latch my baby in future (Edd Jan 2020 & I know its still early). Being a first time mum, I was trying to explain to him that I need my rest too during confinement & I suggest that I can pump out so that he or family can help with bottle feed. However husband heard from his friends that baby doesn't like to latch/refused nipple after bottle feed, is it true?

Not true. I did both from Day 1. One bottle feed by husband every night.

No. My baby was bottle fed till 2nd month before she discovers the beauty of latch. Latching at home and bottle fed in child care from 4th month till now, 16 months.

Not true. I do both. Latch n bottle feed

It was too painful for me at the start.. (my pain tolerance is really Low) so I couldn’t latch.. tried to latch at 1.5 or 2 months but baby doesn’t seem to be receiving milk well. If you can then latch from the start, it will be way more convenient after the future few months - don’t have to bring milk bottle, hot water, expressed milk out. But if too tired then don’t force yourself!

Hey, It completely depends and varies. I suggest you can start with the bottle and then see how the baby responds
