Exerpt from an article on the Destination Maternity site:

What Should I Feed My Newborn?
"Before your baby is born you should do some research to determine what 
is practical for you and your baby. You will need to decide whether or 
not you want to bottle feed or breastfeed your baby. No matter what the 
research says the most important thing is that you are comfortable with 
the choice you have made. If you find that you may be uncomfortable 
breastfeeding your baby you should not breastfeed. One of the most 
important things that you should know about breastfeeding is that in 
the beginning some women may find that it is uncomfortable; some women 
may also find it awkward, and some may find it painful or even 
embarrassing. If after a week or so you still cannot overcome these 
feelings so that you may nurse comfortably you should switch to 
bottle-feeding. No matter how healthy the breast milk is for your baby, 
if you are uncomfortable your child will be as well.

<snip> this is the part about how to breastfeed

If you choose to bottle-feed your baby you will have some advantages 
that a nursing mother does not have. Your baby's father or another 
person will be able to feed your baby so that you can get some 
much-needed rest. This will allow bonding between the baby and another 
caregiver. It will be easier for you to go back to work because your 
will not have to worry about expressing milk for the baby. Also, 
formula does offer nutrients and vitamins for your baby and it too is a 
good choice for both you and your baby. If you have any questions or 
concerns about what to feed your baby you should speak to your 
healthcare provider.
