There's lots of support around if you are having problems. I am not sure which state you are in though. In Brisbane you can see a lactation consultant through the hospital as an outpatient up to a month after your baby's born.

I had a caesarean under general anaesthetic and a lot of stress so I tried comp feeding for a while, but I've now switched to formula.

What I learnt is breastfeeding is not quantifiable, it's more of a quality food. But formula is easy to measure.

It really is an individual decision to make.
