I am totally with Purplemamma, she said it all. And I know where you are coming from. My DS#2 is now 8 weeks old and at 6 weeks we gave up BF. There was no 'medical' reason, although for some reaosn my supply either waned or my milk wasn't good enough. Either way I know I could have done seomthing about it, and probably fixed it but I didn't. And my reasons were also lifestyle ones. For me it is easier to FF. It's a quick fix, I gave him formula and instantly he was satisfied, no waiting for my supply to come right, no frequent feeding. He was more settled and so much more content which (as much as I hate to admit) is more convenient for me and my family. So I really feel as if FF was the right choice for ALL of us and it made our family life SO much easier and pleasant. I feel guilty at times for being selfish like this but as Purplemumma said, your FAMILY is what is important. That means the whole unit, not just one or two of you. HTH and good luck, whatever you do make sure it's what you WANT to do.
