Hi this is my first post but I have been a lurker since the start of my pregnancy.

Anyway, my question is I'm 20 weeks pregnant and the midwife keeps pushing me into breastfeeding. I just don't want to and don't get why she won't stop asking me how I'll feed.

To be honest, the thought of it freaks me out. I didn't breastfeed my daughter and she's fine on formula, she has aptimal because that's the best.

So what do you think? Should my midwife stop nagging me?

It has recently been speculated that breastfeeding studies have major flaws. For example, they gave been done at random rather than between siblings. Because various other lifestyle factors can't really be accounted for at random it's kind of not as good as if two siblings had been compared one bf and one ff. Go with your gut x
