Agreed with everyone else about the nipple shields and BFing. Did I miss something somewhere or are you worried about something in particular with BFing?
Sending you good vibes for the repeat GTT!!
I think horrible stories I have read has me a bit scared. Lol Also I really want dh to also be able to feed the baby.
Aw don't be scared! It's definitely a learning process for both you and the baby but just stick with it if you want. The best advice I ever got was to never quit on your worst day. That got me through the rough parts in the beginning and we made it to 14 months before DD self weaned.
We had to start DD on bottles when she was just a few days old because she had jaundice and the pedi wanted us to basically flush out her system. I would BF her and then we would top off with an ounce or two of formula. DD never had nipple confusion even with starting bottles that early so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
