Do you feel pressured to breast feed?? will you be breast feeding or bottle feeding or a bit of both??

Question

I would like to bottle feed ( baby formula ) but I feel like us mums are expected to just breast feed. 
I will most likely do both.

Answer

Am I getting pressured to breastfeed? Yes 
Am I breastfeeding? No.

Answer

I refused to feel pressured and I do believe “fed is best.” I do plan on using breastmilk, but I’m so torn on if I want to pump or nurse. Either way, nobody is going to make me feel bad about my choices. My baby, my choice!

Answer

personally this go around I am exclusively breast feeding. 
with my last I ended up bottle feeding but didn't get any comments about it from anyone.
however, I have gotten comments about how I'm not pumping. "you're going to have to pump. you want to go out on date nights don't you?" and so on. 
it's my choice and as a sahm I don't want to pump. 
it seems like you get comments no matter what you do🤷‍♀️

Answer

My daughter’s dad’s family is trying to pressure me into it but don’t understand that I literally cannot do it because of medication I’m on that isn’t safe. I would love to breastfeed but I can’t, and his family thinks I can just go off my meds while doing it but I honestly need them for the sake of myself and to be able to mentally be a good mother to my daughter. 
So I will be formula feeding.

Answer

I definitely don’t feel pressured this time around. With my first I felt extremely pressured, like if I didn’t I would be labeled a bad mom. I ended up bottle feeding my son in the end. This time around we’re going to try really hard to breastfeed and I think not having all the pressure will really help us succeed but if I end up needing to bottle feed then I’m fine with that too. ☺️

Answer

I sort of feel like I'm being pressured to do it by my hubby and his family. I plan to pump and feed baby from those bottles. I want other people to be able to bond with baby too, especially hubby.

Answer

no im 100% bottle feeding and anyone who has a problem 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

Answer

I feel no pressure. I only breastfeed.

Answer

I don’t necessarily feel pressured, but I will definitely be breast feeding.

Answer

I don’t feel pressure from family or friends. But I feel pressure from society. That pressure/shaming coerced me into nursing my oldest a whole year despite it being a horrifying year that I wished away. 
My next two kids I had to let it go and ended up switching to bottles after a few months. Much better choice. 
Will most likely bottle feed my 4th due next year.
