Breastfeeding
Why you might not be able to breastfeed There are some instances in which a new mother simply can't nurse exclusively, or at all, and bottle-feeding can save the day. Some women, as much as they want to, are just not able to breastfeed, at least not exclusively. However, do give breastfeeding a try (it's free!), but be prepared to supplement with a bottle if you find it's not working for you. Here are some other reasons that might preclude you from breastfeeding.
