Is formula feeding really easier?

[babyplease01]

I'm switching too. I couldn't BF at first because she was so small and didn't have a strong suck, but at 2 weeks I brought her back to the breast because I so wanted to breastfeed. But it hasn't been the experience I wanted. It's been rough and she has had bad gas pains because she gulps so much air on the breast. I didn't know if it would be better with the bottle but it has been. And she hasn't been satisfied--thriving yes, but my baby has been hungry. I don't really buy into the whole "breast is best" deal, but I wanted to do it for me. So I've had to decide to give it up for my baby. I really do feel that the bottle is best for her. And I have found it to be easier already. 2 days in. And so much less stress.
