I don't think I would be comfortable breastfeeding and I will have to go back to work full time when my baby is about 6 weeks old.

I am catching a little flack and starting to feel guilty for my choice of bottle feeding, is it that bad?

Yes breast feeding is better for babies, but lots of babies are bottle fed and they do just fine.

If you are uncomfortable with the thought of breast feeding then maybe bottle feeding is the best option.

If you want to try it for a few weeks and then switch to a bottle before you have to go to work you could do that to.

But whatever you decide it is your decision. You know how you feel and what you are comfortable with. This decision has to be yours and yours alone.

I agree it is your choice. A baby can thrive on formula just as well as breast milk.

Breast Feeding to Bottle Feeding

Posted by: Tarla

I have pretty much exclusively breastfed my son for the last 6 months. I need to get him switched over to the bottle within the next 6 weeks. I have no choice in the matter.

Any mom's have any tips on how I can make this easier on both of us, but especially him.
