Mixed feeding

Any mummies who bottle feed their LO personally still manage to breastfeed their LO? I just read that babies will naturally be attracted to mummy's unique smell that makes them want to latch. However if mummy give baby bottle, baby will get confused hence better to get another caregiver to feed baby using bottle? Not sure if this is true?

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
