Hi, I am very pro BFing, but I understand where you are coming from. But, I would really urge you to keep an open mind.

I had to bottle feed (Expressed breast milk, not formula) in the early days and found it soooo hard. It was such a hassle for me as I had to wash and setrilise bottles. All this stuff was constantly standing around in my kitchen, when DD was hungry (and often you don't get much warning), I had to heat a bottle one handed with a screaming baby in the other arm. It was an absolute nightmare. Let alone all the money this costs. And DD didn't take well to the bottle, I tried so many different teats until I found one she sort of liked. She got lots of gas from the bottle, so there was lots of crying and wind. After a few weeks BFing was finally established properly and it was such a breeze. I didn't have to lug around bottles and worry about any of this washing & sterilising stuff. If DD was hungry, I could just pop out a boob and away she'd go. I used this time to bond with her or sometimes to read a book. I loved how it forced me to have a break.
I also run a business with DH. Until DD was 3 months, we worked from home (we have since moved into a workshop). Although I was not able to help all that much, I don't think i would have been able to help much more if I had been FF. I invested in a HugABub so that while DD was asleep (which could be 5 hours at a time when in the HugABub) I could get lots of work done, like the BAS and stuff like that. Even during breastfeeding I sometimes worked on the computer.
Also, consider the fact that FF babies tend to get sick a little more often. How would that affect your work?
And night times were soooo easy when BFing. I could actually sleep while feeding so the next day I wasn't all that tired and could get on with my work.

Oh, and by the way, I HATED my nipples being played with. They used to be soooo overly sensitive. But that never bothered me during breastfeeding. I actually really enjoy the breastfeeding relationship I have with DD (I still am BFing her, although it is very quick and not so frequent these days). They are some of the sweetest moments we share. DH loves watching us. He feels like he witnesses a very special, almost sacred moment. He did sometimes get to feed DD aswell with EBM, so your DH can be involved in the feeding relationship.

Having said all that, my decision was mainly based on the physical and mental health advantages that BFing has and on the fact that I just consider it the natural thing to do.

But you will have to make your own decision. And whatever you decide, don't worry about what other people might think or say. It's your body and your baby. No matter what you do in your new role as a parent, there will be people telling you it is the wrong thing. I used to have people tell me at 3 months that I have to put DD on formula. For varying reasons like: "She needs extra nutrition" or "you're spoiling her and don't let her become independent" or "you need to get your life back". They couldn't quite explain to me how I would be getting my life back, but I never asked. I jsut smiled and nodded and did what I felt was the right thing to do.

All the best,
Sasa
