Of course: Your job when you have a baby is the baby. There is less time available to work. There are only 24 hours in day! breastffeding takes time. You should be relaxed so that your baby is relaxed also. If you are stressed about time constraints and availability for your baby, it might be better to supplement with formula. There is no 'right" way of feedibg your baby. Cuddling, nuturing, loving vip.

Pump it up!: While it is true breast feeding takes time and commitment, you can work and breast feed if your employer is one that will work with you. You don't need to supplement with formula if you can take the time to pump during your work day. I made it through medical school and pediatric residency while breast feeding - pumped when i wasn't available to the baby.
