While bottle feeding may seem easier now I can attest to bf being really easy as they get older. I had a c/section with DS, my milk didn't come in until day 5 and in those early mnths it was really hard but after about 2/3 mnths he was literally feeding for 2 mins he became that efficent at it.
I persisted with bf for financial reasons mostly, bf was free and when I compared the time it takes to sterilise, prepare, wash and keep bottles in a safe manner vs bf I am glad I persisted through my issues with bf.
Either way you go with it it is a really hard slog with a newborn in those early months
