I was going to do strictly breastfeeding but I'm going to actually do breastfeeding and pumping (bottle) because if not than she'll be hooked and will want my breast only and wouldn't work if she is left with her dad or something lol..
Anyone else doing both???
@hamman13, I felt like my nipples were tearing open lol
@hamman13, with my son I breastfeed but only to 6 months because than he started to hurt my nipples lmao I couldn't do it after that but with my daughter I want to go longer
@sarinunez, I used Avent & dr. Browns bottles with my son.
I put 4 different types of bottles on my registry, because I know there's a chance that the baby might not like one so at least I'll have options. The ones I picked were the Tommee Tippee, Munchkin LATCH, Chicco NaturalFit and Philips Avent Natural.
I'm doing both! I want my SO and our son to bond as well.
@desi720, awesome thank you! I'll check it out.
Thanks also I heard the latch bottles are pretty good I plan on trying those
Yes I plan to do both a little nervous because it will be new to me and I have no one that can really help since my mom didn't breastfeed. I hope it works out.
Lol yes I noticed my auto correct when it posted lol
I'm doing both. I didn't pump with my oldest and he fed all the time which wasn't very convenient at all lol. I'm getting the tommy tippee bottles the closer to nature ones are shaped more like boobs and they have ones for sensitive tummies too :) I'm lucky though I've done in home daycare for the past 10 years so I got to see the pros and cons of all the bottle brands.
It's called tommee tippe lol @lexirosex3 @lkmama
@kenitra, awesome!! I heard it was also :)
All of my friends that have had children recently say Medela Electric Pump is the best on the market.
@jackscatss, @lezette @kenitra @rfsteele @ashley07 awesome!!!! My insurance provided breast pump etc too hopefully she latches on and feels comfortable if not I'll have to buy her one that she will feel comfortable with. Any recommendations??
@lezette, what bottles do you recommend? I've been thinking about trying to do both again, but I used the medela bottles with my daughter and then she wouldn't latch anymore.
I plan to try to breastfeed but I'm going to pump so he/she will be used to the bottle for when my parents have him/her also so it will be easier when I put him/her on regular milk at a year old like I did with my daughter only I couldn't breast feed with my daughter because my milk came in late and she wouldn't latch on
yes! We're doing both for the same reason, plus daddy can share the nightly feedings
I am! I want other people to be able to feed him besides me. Especially his Dad. And my insurance covers a hospital grade breast pump of my choice.

This is a post I've made to help women who are thinking of breastfeeding, or are breastfeeding and may have some questions about breastfeeding. It is also aimed to help women who may be experiencing problems with breastfeeding and may need to know how to deal with these problems because most breastfeeding problems can be sorted.
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.
Breastfeeding mommas! When dtd with your man, do they ever go for the tits? What do you do?
What’s the most selfish thing you’ve seen another momma do? And go! Lol
