So we're about to have our first child and are making decisions about BF and FF. There are several reasons why DH and I are thinking about FF our baby after a few weeks of BF.

But the thing is, they are all "lifestyle" reasons and whenever I look up anything on FF it seems like the women who end up doing it have all sorts of 'valid' or 'medical' reasons- like they have tried really hard to BF and it hasn't worked, or they have no supply or something. I read them and think they all sound really brave for trying so hard to BF!

For us, we both run our business from home and while we can manage for a while with just DH running things, I will need to get back to work and BF will not really be compatible. Also DH is really keen to share feeding responsibilities and be involved in that aspect of caring for our child. And finally (and the most selfish of the reasons), I have had a difficult pregnancy and am so keen to get my body back....and (I know this sound wierd), I really dislike my breasts and nipples being played with and, while I know BF could be entirely different, it is possible I may hate the sensation.

I do want to try BF and who know, baby and I could love it! But I have to say, I am not committed to it and I feel like a criminal for saying that!

I just wanted to know if anyone has choosen to FF for similar reasons and how you have found reactions etc. I am, frankly, scared to tell people! I don't want to start a debate, I just am interested in others reasons for FF and seeing if anyone has been in similar circumstances.
