Your baby does not need any other food or drink for the first six months of life.If the weather is hot, just dress the baby in a vest and feed more often, as the baby demands. Breast milk is mostly made up of water so the baby will not become dehydrated.
Introducing juices is not necessary and the use of teats could confuse the breastfed baby. You should still offer the breast after each mixed feed and you will find that this is all that your baby will need. If you do give EBM or water, because you have to leave the baby,then you can use a cup from six months, thus avoiding bottles altogether.
