I have short/flat nipples. Lo latches on though. But I'm worried that once bottle introduced he will prefer the bottle due to longer teat aka "nipple" and reject my nipple and forego latching altogether. I'm really afraid and don't dare to introduce bottle to be honest..I failed latching my #1 in the past and don't wish to fail with my #2 now that things are going ok the past 1 month...sigh..

Hi:) if you’re happy to breastfeed and do direct latching 100%, then there’s no need to introduce a bottle anytime soon:) you can always introduce it later (like if you’re going back to work, or want to wean off direct latching) and gradually.. after baby is completely used to your nipples and has a preference for it.
