Bottle feeding from birth in UK

Can anybody share experiences of bottle feeding their newborn straight away? I’ve tried googling and everything’s all about breastfeeding! I breastfed my two boys but had a nightmare with it so I’m considering bottle feeding this baby from the start.

How do you get your milk to dry up? Does it just happen on its own?

Do you take bottles to the hospital when you give birth?

Any advice/ experiences would be greatly appreciated!! 💙💗
