Jess, I found BF really hard, I hated the sensation, it hurt like all hell and I had a very hungry DS. So on day 3, put him on the bottle. I don't regret the decision, or the fact that I could have tried harder, because I had to go back to work when he was 12 weeks old, and I thought that it would have been too difficult (for me) to organise to express milk etc and have to deal with the worry that bubs wouldn't take the bottle. I'm not saying that this is right or not, just that it was the right choice for me and my family.

With this one, haven't made the decision yet to FF or BF. Thought I would sorta wait until bubs was born, and then see what happens. However, I have to return to work again when bubs is 12 weeks old, so even if I did end up BFing, it wouldn't be for longer than 12 weeks.

There are some people out there that do criticise your choice, but they aren't the ones raising your baby, living your life and having to do what you do to survive. Every one has an opinion, and most people express it, welcome or not.

Just have to let it all slide off your back if you have made an informed choice of what is best for you and your family.

Good luck with whatever you decide.
