I was just wondering. Thank you. I would like to breast feed so I am going with that. Just was curious on the other part.

Another thing, I have inverted nipples so it was harder for my son to latch but not impossible. At the hospital they brought in a breastpump to make my nipples easier for him to latch onto!

Well you'll usually have a lactation consultant there to help with latching. Why wouldn't he take to it? Babies naturally want moms nipple. Before formula that was the only option.... If he's having troubles they'll help you at the hospital and they also have formula at the hospital as well if you change your mind on breastfeeding. No need to waste money!
