Yeah - I guess it depends on the lifestyle. My lifestyle revolves around everything being the quickest, easiest and cheapest. LOL. So co-sleeping, breastfeeding, and cloth nappies were my choices!
I think it's fantastic that your DH wants the involvement with the baby. This is definitely still possible with breastfeeding, but I would keep in mind that it's not really a father's natural "job" to feed a baby milk. There's plenty of other things a father can do to bond with the baby.. bathtime, bedtime, and just playing. If you do decide to give breastfeeding a go, it's important that your partner is supportive of it, so perhaps he could look forward to other aspects of parenting?
You say you work from home? IMO thats perfect for breastfeeding (I work from home myself).
But at the end of the day, it is your choice. But definitely surround yourself with supportive people if you decide you enjoy breastfeeding and want to keep at it.
