I don't think I want to breastfeed.

Last time, the baby was on my boob 24 hours a day, he did a constant high pitch scream if I took him away from my boob. I was tired and had PND, and I only lasted a week and a bit of bfing. I still had milk 6 weeks after stopping bfing. Bottles were so much easier, particularly cartons of milk. I don't think I want to put myself through it again.

I think the only alternative is expressing with an electric pump (hard work) or only bfing for a couple of weeks, then going onto bottles.

It's so good to know that other people have been through similar! I think the advice about each baby being different is probably very true so I'm going to try it and see what happens. Thanks everyone xx
