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?

It did happen to me at some point but do not worry, baby can learn to do both. My nipples were fine but my girl didn’t want to latch from me since she was bottle fed at the hospital (I forgot to instruct the nurses not to give her bottle). I exclusively pumped for the first 7 weeks. But on her 8th week, she learned how to latch. Now she latches when I’m home and drinks from the bottle when I’m at work.
