Breast is best...?

Currently 5 months pregnant and doing all the research I can.

At this moment, I think I’m opting not to breastfeed. (I have several reasons and ultimately, just don’t think it’s for me)

Several friends have opted for formula and have had no health issues in their babies.

Every bit of literature I’ve found seems to push breastfeeding as the ‘only’ option and my midwife was horrified when I had this conversation.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for balanced information on breast v formula or let me know your own experiences?

I’m not looking for judgement, just facts and experience. Thanks :)
