Is it true that baby doesn't latch after bottle feed?

Hi mummies. Husband sort of strongly insist that I must always latch my baby in future (Edd Jan 2020 & I know its still early). Being a first time mum, I was trying to explain to him that I need my rest too during confinement & I suggest that I can pump out so that he or family can help with bottle feed. However husband heard from his friends that baby doesn't like to latch/refused nipple after bottle feed, is it true?

I had difficulty lathing my baby cos of my flat nipples. She was then cup fed in the hospital with formula milk and when we got home, I pump 95% of the time as she is impatient to find my nipples which I totally understand. Used a nipple shield to help, and also sometimes she does comfort latch after bottle feed now that my nipples somehow became longer after pumping! Do not stress yourself now, enjoy your pregnancy first because everyday we learn new things about our body and our baby!
