i want my baby to have breast milk, or at least i want to try, but i dont want to breastfeed infront of people.
i know this is silly because its completly natural but i just wont feel comfortable.
i would like to breast feed at night time and when i am alone with the baby but other than that i want to express the milk and give it to my baby in a bottle.
i know its time consuming etc, but can you do this or do you have to stick to just bottle or just breast all the time or can you combine them? and do any of you think this is a silly idea or?
this is my first baby and my mum isnt much help because breast feeding didnt work for her when she had me and my brother and sister so its about the only thing she doesnt know much about.
any advice and/or experinces and opinions will be helpful, Thanks
