Is it bad to not breastfeed just because I’m not comfortable with it?

Question

I know that it’s better for the baby and I know it makes you lose weight faster after birth but is it really awful and selfish of me to not breastfeed because I just am not comfortable with it? I feel like a bad mom if I don’t, but I just don’t want to :/

Answer

I felt this way however I think I’m gonna try it for 3 months and then take it from there. I’m not thrilled but I will try at least. Don’t feel horrible! Fed baby is best. No matter how !

Answer

Fed is best!! At the end of the day you need to do what is best for you and your family. Don’t let anyone guilt you into something your not comfortable with

Answer

I never thought once about breast feeding, my little one will be going straight to bottles once she’s born, don’t think it makes me less of a mother. My child is still going to get all the milk and love and attention to any other baby xx

Answer

As long as baby is fed that's all that matters mama! Dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

Answer

Fed is best

Answer

I’m just curious, and ladies who said they aren’t comfortable with breastfeeding, can you elaborate on why?

Answer

I have absolutely no desire to breastfeed, but to help loose weight I’m gonna try my hardest to pump exclusively and substitute with formula for the first 6 weeks. After that I’m going to switch to formula since it fits with our lifestyle better. 
I honestly see no difference in formula vs. breast milk, fed baby is best. Doesn’t matter how they get their milk as long as they are getting it.

Answer

You do what you're comfortable with. The thought of breastfeeding just made me uncomfortable, in all honestly I just couldnt do it. So I didn't, my son has been formula fed since day one. Fed is best girly, do not let anyone make you feel guilty for not breastfeeding if you dont want to.

Answer

You are not a bad mom. It is your choice and some people it just does not work for or they choose not to, and that is okay! Now if you don’t feed your baby then you’re a bad mom lol. But there is nothing wrong with choosing not to breast feed.

Answer

It’s totally up to you, there’s a ton of women who choose not to breastfeed! As long as baby is getting fed and you’re comfortable then it shouldn’t matter how you do it! Don’t feel bad mama💖.
