Don't want to breastfeed.....

Hi everyone!
I'm 25 weeks and have made the decision not to breastfeed when I have my baby. It's my decision but I feel like I'm being to made guilty by not even trying.... did anyone else just go straight to FF? Did you try in the beginning? Is it wrong to not want to?
It's not that I don't want the connection with my baby, just the following reasons-
-they need feeding much more frequently, which can be exhausting through the night
-it is very draining both mentally and physically for Mum
-it hurts
-I don't feel comfortable breastfeeding in public
-can be trying to do it for potentially hours at a time
-no involvement for Dad/freedom for Mum
-can't measure how much baby is drinking on each feed
Would love to hear everyone's thoughts Smile
Thanks x

Absolutely. There is plenty of crap information about both ff and bf out there.

How can we even try to compare between natural milk and milk made in a lab?

Change ‘milk’ for ‘medicine’ and see how far the naturalistic fallacy gets you.

‘Unless you have a crippling disability’, Jesus. It’s like fucking Gilead! Blessed are the fruit!
