ITs really your choice. if your not comfortable with the idea then dont do it. Breastmilk is best but if you dont want to pump or nurse then give the baby formula. I asked my hubby and he said it was up to me that it was my body. being a mother is never fair hun, moms dont get sick days! would be nice though! you will do everything to give your child a good start on life! just because you choose not to ****** feed doesnt make you selfish. What about women who are unable to ****** feed, are they selfish as well? i would talk to your husband in depth about this but ulitimatly its your decision because its your body.

This isn’t silly at all. You are very informed of the advantages of breastfeeding. However, you are right. You are the one that “has” to do it. If you feel uncomfortable with it then you shouldn’t do it. It may make you resent your baby and that is the worst thing that can happen. In my opinion, a fed baby is a happy baby. Good luck and happy birthing.

I think breastmilk is every baby’s birthright. It’s much easier to switch from ****** to bottle than from bottle back to ******. The immunities that are provided by breastfeeding are very important. The colostrum (first milk) acts as baby’s first immunization. Personally, I would suggest that you commit to at least giving it a try. Try for the time you are in the hospital. Or commit to the first 2 weeks. Or commit to doing it until you get back to work, if you are doing so. Then somewhere in there, make a decision about how you feel about continuing it and if you like it or not. I really think it’s far too important to totally write off the possibility without even trying.
