I am hoping to express a little for DH to give a feed now and then too, but don't forget you can't always express straight away, I have been told by midwives you should wait around 6 weeks until expressing regularly so your boobs have sort of been broken in and have worked out a routine of their own, and also so bubs gets good practice on the boob and has it all worked out too.

Trust me, there would be no bad effects of feeding a baby from a bottle, either way bubs is close to you and you are feeding them with love, you can still do it skin to skin as well if you want that extra closeness.
