Firstly PLEASE don't misunderstand q as trying to provoke an argument, as I'm just curious to understand why without putting pressure.
I exclusively breastfed for 1st 3 mths then have mixed fed since (due to baby's v slow weight gain) so have experience in both.
But... it seems that many people now are bottlefeeding from start and I would really like to know what stopped you wanting to breastfeed. In my opinion (again not lecturing - got my own share of that when started mixing), breast has more pros (health of baby, deeper bonding, on tap, delayed period, free compared to expensive formula) and few cons (probs in public, delayed dieting).
As so many of you are doing it, there must be something I'm not getting. Also, would you have considered mixed as I have done? (may be lucky but baby has had no probs switching)
