I think you should go with whats best for you. I had my daughter 6 weeks ago and planned to breastfeed (financial decision also) I suffered through engorged breasts and it hurt to attach her. They burned and had large hard lumps. Do either or both to give yourself a break and for relief.poor mums :)

Breast is always best, artificial milk is a poor second. You may be in circumstances that prevent you from breastfeeding for whatever reason, but artificial milk will never be as good for your baby as breastmilk.
