Are you breastfeeding or using formula ?!? I'm still debating! I was thinking formula but I know breastfeeding is the healthiest route
do it as long as you can. the very beginning is when they get the very best stuff!
6 months is the minimum suggested but a year or more would be good! I think you should try a class :)
The class was incredible!!! Made me very excited to breastfeed and I would use formula as an option only if my boobs don't work. I am definitely pro breast feeding. It helps you get back to your pre pregnancy weight, helps to shrink your uterus back to size, it helps to coat babies tummy to prevent diseases and digestion issues, prevents obesity in the baby for later in life... The list is endless.. And as for convenience it's always at the right temperature, it's always ready to go, it's free! If you are willing to give it a go I would do it, and if your not, then find the formula that will work for you!
i did the research. your supposed to breast feed for at least 1 year. when teeth start growing and the rate of their growth will tell me if i can go fully through with a year.
Welcome! :) Enfamil has this supplements fromula that i use because im breastfeeding and supplementing to an its easy on my babys belly not harsh because its just like brest milk an my little man is a high risk premie an he loves it
do both that way whenever you transition to formula it will be easier
And six months?!? Did you do research or you just decided that was best @naomilei94
How was the class ?!? @Kai ty0117 I never thought about that! I need to do some more research before anything
Well I'd say try breast feeding first if you are thinking about it and then if that doesn't work for you then use formula! If you are considering it you might as well try it! But if you aren't comfortable breast feeding you shouldn't feel pressured! You can always take a breast feeding class (I did) and they will give you all the benefits and the know how and then you can make an informed choice! I knew right when I found out I was pregnant I wanted to breastfeed! I suggest researching the facts and making a choice that will best suit you and your baby!
Breastfeeding.
I am a HUGE breastfeeding advocate. No, I will NOT shame you if you decide to formula feed, and will not tolerate anyone else doing so on my post. Everyone has their own reasons on why they feed their child the way they see fit.
Opinions on formula
What formula is closest to breastmilk ? I don’t plan on breastfeeding this time so I’m wanting to find formula that is closest to breastmilk 💙
Im still debating on if i should breastfeeding or formula feeding.. I tried breastfeeding with both of my kids but they didnt want too.. Of course i know the pro an cons of formula feed.. I know that fed babies are happy babies😊 (regarding breastfed and formula fed) just want to know cause i might try breastfeeding and see! Just want to know other moms personal experience with breastfeeding
I think I'm going to do breastfeeding and see how he attaches to me & if not I'm going to put him on breastmilk formula.

I would do the classes but i live in the middle of the woods and can barely get a ride to the doctors.
