Exclusive breastfeeding (not bottle feeding breastmilk) is less labor than formula. The problem is potential discomfort, and inability for both parents to split the labor more equally.

You raise a good distinction with exclusive breastfeeding and no bottle.

That assumes

-Always available to breastfeed

- mom doesn't work (or at least has tremendous flexibility)

-and doesn't need to pump

Those are overly idealistic to me and impose overhead costs.

“Potential discomfort” undersells it.

Spending the time to get the baby to really latch correctly is well worth it, if my wife's experience is anything to go by.
