I know for certain I want to breastfeed my son, but I am kinda weighing the options of pumping exclusively so he doesn’t get nipple confusion? Because I do want to pump as much as I can to help with outings and whatnot, so a bottle will be involved from time to time.

Also when can I pump? I’m already leaking small amounts and hear that the milk pumped before baby comes is colostrum and if you can have a good supply before baby is here then awesome, but I hear it can also kickstart labor so I just don’t know.

Also any bottle recommendations for newborns? Ones that would be nice and small, I have a few avent ones that are I think 6 oz? And I know I’ll be judged for it but pacifier recommendations as well?
