Conflicted over breastfeeding / formula feeding

Just wondering if anyone is struggling with the same internal debate I’m having. I always thought I didn’t want to breastfeed because I have a large chest and the idea of needing to breastfeed in public strikes fear into me and I liked the idea of my husband being more involved in feeding and being able to share night feed responsibility. As the weeks have gone on I’m now wondering if I’m selfish for not wanting to try breastfeeding and if I’ll regret not doing it. If you’re comfortable feel free to share how you’re planning to feed baby (knowing things can change!), think I need some reassurance I’m not alone in my thoughts.

I'm not planning to breastfeed. It's not for me at all!

Hey I’m the same I can’t think of anything worse than whipping out my huge boobs in public 🤣 I plan on trying breast feeding and bottle feeding with pumped breast milk. I’m also aware breast feeding/pumping may not work for me so it may end up being formula only but as long as the baby is fed that’s all that matters xx

Do you not want to pump?

My plan is to combination feed with breast milk so my husband can also feed and bond with baby but also to give me freedom to be able to leave baby with him or my mum for a couple hours and not worry they won’t be fed. But at the end of it, my main goal is a fed baby so if they only like the boob we go EB or if they hate the boob and love bottles or I’m not producing enough then we’ll do a mix of breast milk and formula x

Aiming to breast feed, but have bottles and formula on standby - you never know what will happen
