Bottle Feeding
Hi everyone,
Just a quickie....I am pregnant with my first baby and am planning on bottle feeding by choice. I haven't started any antenatal classes yet (start a week today) and I haven't spoken to my midwife about this, but did anyone get any negative comments/vibes from anyone for not wanting to breastfeed? I'm just asking cos the hospital where I'm gonna have babs is really for breastfeeding and I'm scared they're going to make me feel bad!!!
Any comments/advise much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kate xx

Im pregnant with my first and am going to bottle feed, my midwife is bitch from hell and is really trying hard to put me off bottle feeding, and almost makes me feel guilty for not breast feeding.
Ignore them, its your baby, your body, your choice.

Its upto you how you feed your baby, i will only bottle feed to be honest i would not ever consider breast feeding i just dont want to. Dont feel bad though x x x
I start my antenatal classes wk after next. I too am going to bottle feed by choice.
I have a phobia about nipples being touched (always have... very strange I know!) and it makes me feel physically sick if they are.
I tell you, if any midwife tries to tell me what to do she can naff off!!!!
I like you feel guilty for feeling this way, which is wrong. As long as our babies are well fed and looked after and loved we shouldn't be made to feel like bad mother's for not breastfeeding.
