The only thing I'm slightly concerned about in your post is using bottles to supplement.
At the lactation clinic, they told me I could use one of two kinds of bottles. Both have nipples designed to be demanding of babies - milk doesn't just drip out, it needs to be sucked out with vigor. Hopefully this will keep her from developing a preference.
They also gave me syringes, so I can syringe-feed her if it looks like we're developing a problem.
