[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP does not want to breastfeed and it is not realistic given her commute or job.  Its a non-issue.  OP do what is best for you and your family.[/quote]

That's not what OP said!

She said she won't be able to pump. I get that. I had a difficult time getting time and space to pump, also. I also never got a lot while pumping, probably due to the stress of it. However, I nursed for nearly 2 years.

OP, I think your plan to breastfeed, and have dh give a bottle or two a day, is a good one. Breastfeeding doesn't have to be all or nothing, after it is established. By 6 months, my baby was about 75% BF and the rest, formula. Basically, I nursed when home and she had bottles when I was at work. When I was home (weekend/day off) I nursed (no bottle that day) and that kept up my supply.

You can do both, if you choose. Even if you choose to use formula only after you go back to work, 4 months BF is good! I'd try BF and see how it goes and make a more firm decision then.[/quote]
