Let’s say you do not want to breastfeed, and you have a good reason for that. Maybe breastfeeding really hurts your nipples, maybe you can’t seem to produce enough milk, maybe it is just really inconvenient given your lifestyle. I would think that this would also be correlated with breastfeeding being a bad choice for you in particular. If it hurts, maybe the bonding doesn’t work. If you don’t produce enough milk, the quality might also be bad, or maybe slight underfeeding causes problems. If it is inconvenient, maybe you will get postpartum depression. It might sound cliche, but this article makes me think that ‘pick whichever you feel like’ is indeed the right algorithm for this.
