My DD Madeleine was FF from 3 weeks. I made the decision as I was in agony with cracked, bleeding nipples and never got those hard, full breasts either. I gave it a good go though.
I never looked back at my decision, didn't even feel guilty. My DD is very healthy and that's all that matters to me. I praise those women who can BF but it just wasn't possible for me. I agree it is cheaper and easier to probably BF. It's been no big deal to make up her bottles though, I'm pretty organised anyway.
Feeding Madeleine is only a small part of what is to be for the rest of her life and she loves her milk and is healthy so that's all that matters to me.
Not sure if we are having another baby but if we were to decide, I would probably give BF a go again but would go onto FF no problems if there were the same issues.
