Breastfeeding

[Jonesk27]

Hi Guys
Before I start, I know breast is best, I have absolutely no feelings against people that breastfeed. But I really do not want to breastfeed

Then don’t. What’s the point of your post?

Everyone has an opinion I seem to be being lectured, my partner, in laws, extremely judgemental workmates... the more I think of it the more stressed I become and almost resentful.
My firstborn was bottle fed she was absolutely fine but I seem to be being attacked from every side.

One workmate said not to do it is negligent and selfish. I feel bullied into a corner... anyone else been through this??

Sorry I posted too soon and could find a button to edit or delete? I have added more detail below.

It’s up to you of course.

Is there anything particular that puts you off?

It's noone else's business but your own. Just say 'I have decided what is right for myself and my naby' and don't get into any other dialogue
Though I have never known work colleagues to be that interested in how you feed your baby

It's your body, so what you do with it is your choice. No one else should be attempting to bully or harass you into doing something you don't want to do with your body.

Workmates - just ignore them, they shouldn't be commenting on your choices. I'd avoid it as a topic of conversation and change the subject if they try and bring it up.

Your partner should listen to your choice and respect that. If you didn't breastfeed your first child it's a little strange that he is expecting you to feed your second. Your partner should also be telling his parents to stop discussing it with you, it's your choice and yours alone.

The vast majority of babies are either partly or fully formula fed by a few weeks old so it's a very common choice to make. You could point that out to anyone who questions you.
