Children: Had my first daughter on 25th February 2010!
Should I not introduce the bottle (expressed) at all at this stage due to nipple confusion? (I was hoping my partner could do the dream feed)

I have no idea what to do with them once I get them home although I'm pretty sure I"ll won't be doing much else but feeding
Feeding is the thing that's worrying me most. Will I be able to tandem feed straight away? (hahaha...I think i'm very idealistic about this one!)
Has anyone started off mix feeding?
Should I not introduce the bottle (expressed) at all at this stage due to nipple confusion?
(I was hoping my partner could do the dream feed)
Should I insist that the midwives don't give them formula in hospital?
Should I bathe them in the first week?
How can I stay sane as well on no sleep?
When can I take them out?
p.s. Another questions: what are newborns doing when they aren't sleeping or feeding? If I"m feeding one, what will the other be doing?
When you say bottle fed, do you mean formula or expressed? I'm confused by what 'bottle fed' actually means.
I'm very relieved by you saying that they can do both breast and bottle.
