To not want to breast feed?

[LouBlue1507]

I'm currently 31 weeks pregnant and have decided I'm going to bottle feed my baby.

I know breast is best but the thought of breast feeding really grosses me out and makes me feel sick. It's not something I will feel comfortable doing either.

Not only that but I don't want my baby stuck on my chest all the time.

Before I get flamed, I have nothing against women who choose to breastfeed, I have no problem seeing it, Just the thought of me doing it myself grosses me out.

Are there any other mums to be that feel the same or similar? x

not only is it a good bonding experience for them,

That is utter, utter bollocks. There are many valid reasons why women don't want to breastfeed, but please don't regurgitate this tripe. There are loads of ways a father can bond with their baby, but shoving a bottle in its mouth isn't one of them.

I breastfed DD, but she managed to bond as much with her dad as she did with me.
