My sister is currently pg with her second baby - she has a 2 year old DS. When her DS was born, she did try to breastfeed, but as some may relate, things didn't go very well and she abandoned attempts when he was a week old and bottle fed him instead. Recently we were talking about her having her second baby and I asked if she was going to try and breastfeed again to which she replied that she didn't really think so, because she wouldn't really want to give something to her second baby that she wasn't able to give to her first one. I'd never really thought about it like that, as if I had a second one I probably would try and breastfeed again even though I also wasn't able to breastfeed my DS.
Would anyone else feel like this?

If you bottle fed your first would you feel bad about breastfeeding a second?
