Sorry to hear Plunkett have been putting on the pressure, some people just seem unable to discuss the various feeding options without making Mums feel guilty or piling on moral judgements.
The majority of woman today know the advantages of breastfeeding but there are a million and one reasons why this doesn't work out and they make the change to formula. Its then so annoying when people are moralising about it rather than working on the assumption that its been a difficult decision for the Mum and she needs support.
Anyway a friend suggested reading this article:

Good luck with it all.

Agree with everything Tia says, my 1st was fed one forula but suffered colic told by health visitor to try a different brand & it worked wonders.
Stick to your guns Julie & do what you want to do. I was told I would get lots of pressure because I didn't want to breast feed, too quick in the UK to give a bottle in hospital when I tried with dd1, but in Wellington it was fine, the hospital was great & not made to feel guilty at all. My midwife was a bit funny but it's your life your baby do what you want
Good luck
