I am planning on brest-feeding, I just want to get some bottles for when its not possible to brest-feed. I am in a wedding shortly after the baby is due and it won't exactly be easy with a dress on. Also for when I am at work, and when the baby is with family.

Brings to mind one of the physician assistants my department transcribes for. We kept hearing this funny noise in the background when she dictated, almost like a vacuum cleaner, but not quite. Someone made inquiries, and we found out that it was a breast pump. We knew she had a baby not long ago, but somehow it never occurred to us that the sound was that! :lol:

Yeah... I plan on doing it in the privacy of my own home.

It doesn't work out for everyone, and not all women want to do it. It's a great thing for the babies, but somehow most bottle-fed babies do fine :cool:

She wanted to and tried- pumped, got frustrated, tried some more and we finally just went to bottles. They've turned out okay so far though....... :D

It makes more sense to me to just go with the bottle rather than get overly worked up about it. It's a nice thing to be able to do, but not necessarily a test of mothering ability.

That being said, if I were ever to have another baby (NOOOOO!!!) I would definitely plan on breast-feeding again.

Only really went through that with the first one, and then decided that any other kids, we'd just go straight to the bottle and forgo the drama :) Mind you, this only went on for about a week, maybe two, before she threw in the towel.
