Ok so I plan on breast pumping and using mostly that but still having formula. At the hospital I can have them do formula right? I want to share feeding time with the dad right away too. And start pumping when we come home

You should at least have baby latch when at the hospital so baby can get all the colostrum

My baby didn’t latch right away so they brought me a pump so I can atleast pump & feed it to her! They gave her formula but she didn’t like it so we ended up doing donors milk until my milk came in.. & now i exclusively pump & put her at breast everyone once in a while she never had a problem with nipple confusion

If you're planning on mostly pumping, you should pump in the hospital as well every time your baby has a bottle (or every 2 to 3 hours). You can mess up your supply by waiting too long.

I agree with everyone else. By pumping while feeding you can have milk ready do the dad can feed the baby w/o having to do formula (unless you just want to). Make sure to buy bottles for breadtfed babies like Avent.
