if have another baby should I do breatfeeding instead of bottle formula feeding will it save a lot more money for us also???
my baby just got teeth right before 5 months and he has thankfully never bitten me ,I'd say give breastfeeding a go I do it not only because of the benifiats but because for one it's free and why not save some money
Yep! My daughter has 7 teeth and tries to bite when I put my finger in her mouth! It's natural! But she knows she is not allowed to bite while nursing.
my son has to teeth on the bottom right now and he bites whenever I check for more teeth @alainasmama
I was also terrified of my daughters teeth, you just have to teach them not to bite. It only took about 4 times with my daughter and she stopped biting.
Also note that there are much cheaper ways to formula feed out there. When my daughter started on her sippy cup I made my own formula for her with condensed milk and water. It's not something a doctor can legally suggest you do but that exact recipe is what saved my life when I was a baby because I was so premature. If you would like to know more about that recipe I'll send you a message.
@alainasmama, yeah my is heathly he weights 17lbs and he is 7months old and is in size 3diapers I live formula is just cost so much @jboogie yeah my husband wanted me to do it with my son but I didn't like the idea of my son chewing on my nipple when he got his teeth
You may want to consider breast feeding and supplementing with formula if that is something you're interested it. It would cut the cost of formula a little and still give you the bonding time that nursing does.
I formula feed due to not have produced enough milk and her not. Latching properly formula is expensive but at the end of the day it's your preference of which one you want to do
Breastfeeding is way cheaper. It takes serious commitment. So if you're going to do it make sure your really ready to do it or you will just quit like I did.
But then you have to weigh in the cost of breast pads and new bras, which isn't terrible. Just something you should think about. I know that if I have another baby I most likely will not breast feed at all just because I don't like not being able to have a romantic night with the husband once in a while. Many people believe that breast feeding is the only way to go but I think that it's person preference, there are a ton of babies on formula who are perfectly healthy and some even healthier than breast fed babies.
I mean I've tried breastfeeding with my son but never could keep up in it and we have no money cuz of how much his formula is @alainasmama @elenasmommy
I chose to exclusively breast feed and saved a ton of money because I didn't have to buy bottles or formula. And I did not pump at all, but that also makes it so we couldn't have a baby sitter until she started using a silly cup.
alright thank you everyone
