[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally fine if you want to formula feed. I get a hormonal rush from breastfeeding and love the quiet time, but if you don't feel that, then you don't have to continue. Two things, though:

1) [b]You're still going to have to comfort your child (who sounds like he needs a lot of comfort/closeness). It's not like you're going to stop breastfeeding and then your child won't need more of your time/physical presence. [/b]You'll probably still feel tied down. Plus some of the time you're spending breastfeeding will be taken up by preparing and washing bottles.

2) You can sleep train in a couple months and then you won't have to breastfeed as much/at all at night.[/quote]

Do you think OP doesn't know this? How incredibly condescending.

Well yea, it kind of sounds like she doesn't. She says she doesn't like being tied down and like a human pacifier, but I don't think she's anticipating that she might still have a high needs child even if it's drinking from bottles. My sister-in-law formula fed both her kids but they are still crazy clingy and want to be picked up all day long, only by mom. So it's not like formula feeding made her more independent or less tied down. Babies are babies.[/quote]
