Were you given a hard time by the LC, because you chose not to breast feed?

You choose to not breast feed, it is your choice. The thing I would reconsider is the formula you want to use, Nestle is probably the worst one out there. It has been responsible for the death of many babies because of it's low quality. There have been issues with it on and off since the late 1980's. Just for the common sense aspect, would your really want your newborn child's primary food source to be made by a company who's main product is candy?
