FTM--confused about breast feeding and pumping altogether

monpetitechouchou01

So I have a few questions. I apologize if its redundant or sounds relatively dumb. However, I haven't had the opportunity to take a class and won't before baby arrives. My hospital provides LC on demand but they are not 100% readily available. I'll attempt to ask for one but this is why I'm hoping to obtain your help!  

1. I'll be home for about 8 weeks before I return to work. Do I just breast feed her from my breast until I head to work? Then do I begin pumping when I return to work while I'm on the job? It seems people pump and breast feed both at home? I'm so confused about this.

2. How often am I supposed to pump?  

3. Will the baby be confused by me breast feeding and giving her a bottle?

4. What are the bottle liners or drop ins? I was under the impression that you pumped into the bottle, stored it and then thawed out the milk in the bottle.

Again, I'm sorry if these sound like stupid questions but I'm new to this and very confused!
