Breast Is Best? 
This Bad Mom Trusts the Bottle
By Tish Durkin

I am three months away from giving birth for the first time, and already I am a bad, bad mother.

This is partly because I spend almost as much time gazing in shop windows at the thin clothes I'm going to wear one glorious postpartum day, as I do mooning over the gorgeous little alien on the sonogram images. It is partly because sometimes, when I am not marveling at the child inside me, I am pining for the life behind me. It is partly because if I could forfeit the mere epidural and deliver a happy, healthy baby while in some sort of harmless temporary coma, I would do it in a heartbeat. But mostly, my manifest unworthiness as a woman, a person and a mother-to-be can be captured in five simple words: I don't want to breast-feed.
