[quote=Anonymous]I’m expecting my first baby in the fall and I’m unsure if I want to breastfeed. I know there are many benefits for baby and mom but it seems very hard. Almost all of my family and friends had issues with breastfeeding from poor latch to supply issues. Most ended up having to pump or supplement with formula. I don’t see the point in breastfeeding and supplementing as it seems like double the work. Pumping seems terrible. Then there is the issue of the mom always getting up and no shared responsibility with feedings or getting any sleep in the newborn days. I’m considering formula feeding but there is some guilt around it for not even wanting to try. I’m also pro schedule and sleep training ( plan for start from birth) and worry breastfeeding will not be conducive to have a baby sleeping through the night and on a schedule. I have many people telling me I should try it first before deciding not to breastfeed. Is breastfeeding really worth it? [/quote]
