If you have the choice, I recommend that you reconsider your decision. Breastfeeding is a very (if not the most) important gift that you could give to your child. What your child could miss if he doesn't breastfeed is:
The best nutritional combination that ever exists
the immunity for all the sicknesses that you got all your life,
protection against obesity, asthma, diarrhea, food allergies, and many kinds of youth cancers,
better IQ,
better social and professional achievements later in his life,
better attachment to the family,
...
It may take four to five days to finish the list, that's why it's written on all artificial milk boxes: "breast milk is the best for your baby" and I agree.

Breast milk is of course what is best for your child and no one will argue with that, but it is also important that breastfeeding takes place in a calm and healthy atmosphere.
If for any personal reason (medical, psychological or else...) you are unable to breastfeed, it is better for a child to have artificial milk and a happy mother than to be brestfed by a stressed and unsatisfied mother.
In all cases i strongly advise you to ask for help, sometimes breastfeeding can be stressful if it is not done in the right conditions, your pediatrician will be able to answer all your questions and adress you to specialised health care professionals (nurses, midwives specialised in lactation) to coach you if needed..
