Good luck with baby no 3! I think no matter how you feed this baby, it is going to be time consuming and a busy period of your life. If you consider how breastfeeding fits into the picture, it's probably worth remembering that breastfeeding can take place in bed, or on the sofa with a cup of tea, and that you can have both hands free while you feed. A good sling can make life easier and I personally sometimes fed in the sling while walking to preschool. Some people try a special box of toys that comes out only at feeding time while others swear by Cbeebies (TV).

Good luck....
