[quote=Anonymous]OP I would caution you on getting your heart set on anything when it comes to delivery and feeding your baby. You may be setting yourself up for postpartum mood issues if you aren’t able to feed the way you want. There is much you can do to set yourself up for success and stack the deck in your favor - but ultimately you may not have control over what happens. Your baby may have low blood sugar and need formula from the moment of birth. Your baby may not latch well and require syringe feeding. You may hate nursing or find it makes you feel trapped or experience dysphoric milk ejection reflex (think that is what it’s called). You may be among the 15 percent of women who produce insufficient milk. You may have a baby with allergies who requires special formula. So much can happen and life does not always follow our plans and it’s okay. Be ok with all outcomes as long as baby is fed and you will do your mental health and family a big favor. [/quote]
