amber - do what you feel is right. i was formula fed, and im normal!
no one should tell you what to do, and as a mum you'll get that constantly.
just a word of caution, the nurses, mws, LCs at the hossy might get pushy about bf-ing. they might or they could rrspect your decision.

losing weight! bf-ing isnt helping me at all! doesnt work for everyone, esp over 30 like me!
