One thing to consider is that in the first week of breast feeding, the baby gets a lot of valuable nourishment from a substance called colustrum. Perhaps you could try for a week? If you don't like it you can always stop. And if you don't want to do it at all, don't feel guilty. There are millions of healthy bottle fed babies, and if you look at the data closely, the benefits of breastfeeding over bottle are not really significant.
