My LO does not like to latch directly since he was born. He would latch a while and then fall asleep. So not drinking much while latching. I express pump and let confinement nanny or husband to feed in the beginning. When i first feed him bottle, he seems confused. But slowly get used to it. Now i have been feeding him bottle and latch occasionally without issue
Dont think baby is confused per se, they're just smart and know that mummy is around therefore don't want to take the bottle. So it's easier for another caregiver to give bottle and without mummy around initially. They learn fast too. My 9mo baby has been bottle fed during the day since 4mo and latch at night
