Disclaimer: I'm male and I've not yet been a father.
But I feel compelled to note that it kind of amazes me this is even an issue.
Isn't it obvious that (a) all else being equal, breast-feeding ('till the child is weaned and/or weans itself) is better than any sort of formula and (b) that nothing is equal, ever?
For whatever it's worth, I'm told that I, for reasons I no longer recall, made my own mother's life easy by rejecting the breast at around the age of 6 months. And I like to think the lack of the real deal hasn't done me too much harm.
Dare I suggest you follow Dr. Spock's advice (I paraphrase, based on what me old mum remembers of her reading) and follow your own instincts as to what's best in your own circumstances?
