I am currently 31 weeks with my first baby and I have decided to bottle feed rather than breast feed, although open to the fact I may change my mind but bottle feeding is currently my plan.
I have been told stories by friends that have also bottle fed, that midwives/nurses/doctors etc can be very pushy with breastfeeding in hospital once you’ve given birth. I am just interested if anyone has experienced this? I am really worried about after birth, being either forced or made to feel bad for not breastfeeding.
Ive cried a lot about making this decision but the thought of breastfeeding has been making me SO anxious (I have a long history anxiety and pregnancy has been a massive trigger for it, I started Sertraline at around 22 weeks).
I feel so and about it, but I can’t stop worrying about it, more and more as I approach the end of the pregnancy :( just looking for advice/experiences I guess!
