breastfeeding and bottle feeding

I am a FTM and need some help.. I plan on breastfeeding my baby once she arrives and i will also be pumping so i can store some and let my husband feed her also. My question is how long should i wait after she is born and been breast feeding should i try with bottles. I heard i need to let her get used to breastfeeding first so she does not like bottles more than breast. Any help with this question. Thanks ladies

We were told to wait 2-4 weeks for bottles and pacifiers if breastfeeding. If you have difficulty or don't feel like you've established a good latch and milk, you could wait longer.
