[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your body, your choice.

I’d probably try in your shoes just to know what it’s actually like vs what I think it’s going to be like. Hormonal breast tenderness (like what I get during my period) is a much different feeling than breastfeeding.

But regardless, just not wanting to is a good enough reason not to do it. Your DH needs to back you on this because it sounds like this could just be beginning of unsolicited parenting advice from his relatives. He needs to shut it down now.[/quote]

Stop telling her to try.  What?  Is her baby going to die if she doesn't try!!! SHE. DOES. NOT. WANT. TO NURSE.!!!?? [/quote]

How does she know she doesn't want to nurse if she has never even tried it?!? She will not even try? Not once?[/quote]

OP here. I know. I live in pain everyday with extremely sore breasts and painful nipples if something is brushed up against it. I know breastfeeding will exacerbate the situation. I know breastfeeding isn't the only way to bond with a child. Formula is my choice.

Thank you all for the supportive replies! I haven't told anyone - it's my husband who has told his family. My family is supportive. I know not to stock up on formula, but my mom bought us the Enfamil NeuroPro Rtf. I will have a serious talk with my husband and tell him how upset his is making me that he isn't supportive of my choice. He needs to get on board, because I'm not breastfeeding. [/quote]
