Breastfeeding Preferences!

Hope
This is a subject I don't have many people to talk to about. I just want to know what some of you mommies or mommy-to-be's have done or plan to do with your babies!
I personally don't want to introduce plastic to my baby until I absolutely have to. I want to just breastfeed, straight from the nipple as long as I can. I have my mom who wants to stay with us for a week when they baby is born so I can "sleep" when the baby is hungry and I can just pump for her. That doesn't feel like an option for me. I want that connection with my baby for as long as possible. In a perfect world, that's what I would want. We'll see how it ends up! 
What's your preferences ladies?
