Everyone my baby comes in contact with says that he needs formula because he eats a lot and often. I don't know what to do because I pump where is enough but because it's so much so often I feel like I should EBF for 3 months then give him 1 or 2 bottle of formula just to keep him full longer. What else can I do Because I don't want to give formula at all.
My baby ate every 30 min to an hour and everyone kept saying the same thing to me she was getting enough and I was producing enough were at 3 months ebf and now she's going every one hour to almost 2 hours your baby is signaling your body and there latch will get better where they will nurse shorter time periods as they get older we also have done no formula and I'm working full time now and pumping for her☺️
@xoamac, yes and u don't have to worry about allergic reactions
Don't listen to them. Keep doing you mama. Breast milk digest quicker.. And the best part it's FREE
@klove2016, I think he's fine especially because when he's with them he's throwing up a lot. I know is a bottle but still not like that
lol I got the same thing from my boyfriends mother. She was a formula mom. And thinks breastfeeding is weird and not normal 🙄 my baby is 7 weeks and still eats every 2-3 hours. And wakes up anywhere between 2-4 times a night to nurse. I also pump and USALLY get between 3-5oz each boob, each time I pump. So I know I'm making plenty. Plus she weighs 13 pounds already. She was born 8lbs 7oz. Do what your heart says. Your the momma, and you know what works and what doesn't :-)
breast fed babies eat more often because its meant to digest formula isn't and is harder to digests, as long as baby has 6 or more wet or pokly diapers in a day your fine and know what your doing ignore them
You're doing fine. My son is almost 3 and we still breastfeed. He has never had formula. He also has hardly ever used a bottle because i was able to stay home with him for almost 2 yrs. Trust your body.
If his diaper count is good then ignore everyone
thank you ladies @bonniesue @arivera64 because I don't bottle feed I can't say how much he's eating but the babysitter can
breastmilk metabolizes faster than formula. Also, babies go thru stages where they feed more often to accomodate their growth. Same as how we eat more as we grow from children, to teens, to adults. Continue what you're doing
Cereal is empty calories, can pose a choking hazard and honestly didn't work for anyone that I know personally. You're the mom. You decide what's best for your child.
I make enough milk but because he ways so often and so much everyone is saying he need formula or cereal
Keep pumping frequently or put that baby to breast frequently. I was told the same thing about my son. Guess what? I'm almost at one year and my son never had formula. I think people say that because it's the choice they made and they need it to be ok. If you don't want to formula feed you do not have to
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

you don't need to formula feed. you can just breast feed much as he wants. just because he eats a lot doesn't mean he isn't getting enough
