+1. You shouldn’t put yourself through it if you will only breastfeed for 4 months. It’s not worth it. There is no point. I would just start with formula from birth. [/quote]

This has to be a troll. “Put yourself through” what? BFing? Which some moms very much enjoy and find considerably easier than formula feeding and which she hasn’t even tried yet? I EBFed through a year, but the vast majority of the health benefits are at the very beginning. BF through 4 months if it works for you; not being able to do more than 4 months exclusively isn’t a reason not to try (plenty of people still feed morning and night w/o pumping, so that’s an option you’ll have from 4 months on if you want) [/quote]

PP here. Not a troll. I had a very hard experience trying to breastfeed. As much as people claim it's a " magical experience", many women have a difficult time breastfeeding. I've had several friends also have a very tough time trying to breastfeed. Not saying that will OPs case, but there is no point in stressing herself out if we will just switch to formula at 4 months. Not be able to breastfeed when you want to can be physically, emotionally, and mentally hard.[/quote]
