I was always positive I wouldnt breastfeed...Aside from the fact that I had had breast surgery (yep augmentation as I had next to no boob tissue and always felt out of proportion) My surgery cost heaps and I didnt want to wreck my boobs after my effort to make them pretty lol...I just thought I would definately not have the boob tissue to feed a baby.... I used to joke that Id rock up to the hospital with my container of formula and even went to the extreme of telling my OB that I didnt want to and to tell the hospital not to talk to me about it....I had been supported by my ob as she assumed I couldnt feed with the boob job anyways....

So I shared my feelings with my belly buddies group and Ubba and Telletubby gently gave me their opinions, which gave me something to think about....I decided Id bf her enough to give her the colostrum but that was it.. (what a hard a*se..)

So the day V was born she was given to me and the mw helped put her to my breast and that was that. My friends and family are shocked and dh and I even fought the paed who was making us comp feed. My friends have been quite curious if not amazed at my turnaround and actually constantly bugging me about starting her on formula...(um why would I go to all the effort of bf then stop for no good reason?)

I have no problem with the length anyone wants to feed their kids, Ill probably stop day feeds when I go back to work when V is 14 months but am happy to do nights etc...I plan for her to go straight to cows milk and skip all that other formula stuff.

So anyway on a good note my boobs look heaps BETTER!!!! They are less "bolt on" and more natural and I bet noone would even pick them as fakies...Oh and they work just fine lol.
