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?

You can learn about feeding with syringes/the medicine cups. Those will not cause nipple confusion, and yes, husbands should learn how to feed the baby to give you rest if needed. As for bottle feeding, it depends on the baby. It’s true that some babies do refuse the breast after that if it’s easier to drink from the bottle. In my case, though, my kids always preferred the breast, so there’s that possibility as well, but to stay safe, I’d recommend syringe feeding. Easy to do once you get the hang of it.
