I try not to be judgmental about people's reasons to not breastfeed. It literally stinks to see people not breast feed because they don't want to, it hurts, going back to work, etc. It's so good for their babies. It hurts me because I have had to supplement as I had a breast reduction and all I want to do is give my baby breastmilk. I am jealous of girls who have breastfed their babies for 6 months, with nothing but their breastmilk, I am also super proud of them as well!
We started solids at 3.5 months though, so I don't think solids are necessarily a bad thing, especially if the baby is breastfed, you can see my post from a couple days ago about how solids early for breastfed babies does not increase the risk of obesity. It helps keep the amount of formula I have to give to a minimum, we rarely supplement anymore after we started solids.

I don't see how people with full milk supplies can not breastfeed! I feel it is selfish to not at least try!! The colostrum, which is the pre-milk is so good for babies, it helps keep jaundice at bay, gives babies immunities, and helps get out that black bilirubin. Even if you don't plan on breastfeeding very long, at least do it in the hospital or until you go back to work, every drop counts. It's simple, and best for your baby, plus no prepping bottles!
