cup or bottle feed

My 2month old baby is fully breastfed via direct latching. I will be returning to work after my ML. I am thinking if I should introduce bottle or cup feeding to baby. Anyone skips bottle feedband goes direct to cup feed so that baby does not need to wean off bottle? Any pros or cons?

Unless you’re referring to using the medicine cup as in for feeding newborns, I wouldn’t recommend using an actual cup to feed baby. At this age, the flow rate would be too fast, with likely choking/aspiration (milk going into the airway and lungs) happening. Please use the milk bottle with an appropriate sized teat to keep your baby safe, especially if you’re leaving your baby in someone else’s hands ...
