[quote=Anonymous]I was concerned about breastfeeding and prepared to try it, but figured I’d quickly switch to formula as it seemed painful, uncomfortable, annoying. It is now one of my favorite times of day, when I have to feed him. It isn’t only for feeding, it’s a bonding moment. We share little giggles and smiles at each other. And it’s much easier than when I occasionally bottle feed - I can be on my phone while breastfeeding, and he quickly learned (by 5 weeks) to eat efficiently so only about 13 min. With a bottle, I have to clean everything and then hold it the whole time and he usually takes at least 30min. Then I have to wash everything. Well, DH supports but either way it’s more work. Bottom line, you can’t be sure what kind of baby or breastfeeding experience you’ll have, so try it with full intention and then you can always cut back or switch to formula when it feels right [/quote]
