I plan to breastfeed immediately after birth. i do not want to naturally breastfeed the whole time. i rather use a bottle. how to go about this asap?

Very common: Most women can't breast feed on the breast all the time. It is very common to pump and then feed the baby with a bottle. This provides all the nutrients of breast feeding on the breast. This also allows your significant other to help feed. Purchase a good breast pump and right from the beginning start storing you milk (freezing) and building your supply. Just transition the baby to the bottle.
