I absolutely love the bond that I get from breast feeding my son but I'm thinking about formula…

I'm with you on this but instead of formula I want to pump... But then I also want to breastfeed but then nipple confusion...😖 so hard

I don't know what I want to do. I just want him to gain some independence cause he feels like he needs to be held all the time and I can't do it

Try tommee tippee. I breastfed and gave my son tommee tippee at 1 week old because he had a doctors appointment. No nipple confusion at all. They are actually really great bottles for breastfed babies

@jayson21_41,

I do both and it works great for all of us (: it gives my husband a chance to feed her, me a break, and gives my lo a fuller belly (only one of my breasts produces milk). We do 3 oz formula bottles during the day as needed along with breastfeeding and I strictly breastfeed at night, since we cosleep. And I have a very healthy, 14 pound little girl (:

So do you switch off like every other feeding is is formula? I also wanted to breast feed strictly at night

@tiffany_sanft,

Yeah. I still try to offer breastmilk more, though. She gets about 3-4 formula bottles a day. It just varies with what we're doing that day or how big her appetite is. Just start off slow introducing the formula. Because, sometimes formula can be constipating for babies. And we use a non gmo formula that's closer to breastmilk.

Gotcha, do you use supplementing formula. Or some other kind. I know they have a lot of different varieties.
