Just interested to hear your opinions...I'll give mine first. I know that breast is best, but I chose to bottle feed both my children. The first time round it was ignorance and embarrassment, because I was young and my mum, partner and his family had all bottle fed, and I didn't feel there was anyone positive I could speak to. The second time round, I felt it would be too hard with a toddler around, and that I might bond better with the second than the first, which may cause problems in the long run.
I actually think that giving newborns cows milk is a bit mental when a mother has her own milk which is tailored to her own child. I don't actually drink cows milk, and I'm angry with myself for giving it to my babies :(
If I had my time over again, I'd breastfeed without hesitation. I won't be having anymore children, and I actually feel like I've missed out on something really special, and something which my body is made to do...and that's sad.
