[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that breastfeeding is best.  It also sounds like you have a medical reason for not nursing.

Firstly, STOP telling people what your plan is.
Secondly, tell your husband if he wants to nurse, he can go ahead and do it. The key to breastfeeding is that it works for BOTH PARTIES involved (mother and baby). If one party doesn't want to, it needs to stop (or not happen). 
Thirdly, what about offering a compromise of registering with a milk bank and seeing if you could get milk that way? 
Fourthly, if I were you, I would try for colostrum - it stimulates pain relief naturely and gives newborns a boost of immunity. [/quote]

All of this plus 5) Talk to your doctor about the health issues. You can legitimately shut everyone up by saying that 'this is what my doctor recommends' [/quote]

Agreed. STOP telling people your plans, it just opens up room for judgment. There's going to be LOTS of it once your baby is born, and breast vs bottle is just the start. Just look at the parenting boards here on DCUM - people battling it out regarding everything, starting with SAHM/nanny/daycare, screen time, diet (BLW or purees), sleep training... Learn to smile when asked and say "we are doing what works for us".    [/quote]
