Smile Re: Am i the only woman that doesn't like the idea of breastfeeding?

On the contrary, I breast fed my older daughter and I am breatfeeding my four month old baby now. I personally love it. For me it is easy and natural. Having said that, it was hard for a month with my first and without the support of my mother I would have been virtually alone! I think it is so common to give babies bottles that I sometimes feel like the odd ball using what I have been given. I guess the main thing is that we have to do what makes us as women happy people and happy mommies! To each their own.

As far as telling your husband, maybe tell him that while you are in the hospital you will try both and see what works best for you. If you really don't like it or don't even want to try it, he can't blame you, its your body! Maybe he will feel different after you give birth and he realizes that he can help hold and feed that baby too if you bottle feed. Good luck.
