AIBU to not breastfeed?

DD is yet to arrive, but I never breastfed with DS and my goodness, I was made to feel terrible about it! I've told people that I'm not going to, this time around, but their views haven't changed :(

Kali, I agree. I knew from before children that BF wasn't for me. I am academic enough to know the choices and choose what I feel us best. Just like I did with vaccinations etc.

There are many choices we make for our children that will impact on their futures, feeding is a drop in the ocean compared to other decisions.

Kali well said. I didn't think it would be for me and I was right. There's nothing wrong with choosing to ff as long as it's an educated decision

Wanda, it sounds as if you are saying that the WHO accept that bf isn't that important in developed countries. I had no idea they made such a differentiation, in fact I'm pretty sure they do not. Bf for a minimum for 2 years is what they advise worldwide.
