Let's talk Breast vs Formula...

Even mommas who can not or do not breastfeed for whatever reason..

No judging!! Let's make this a trending topic!!

How Long did you breastfeed? Never actually breastfed but pumped exclusively for 6 months

Did you choose formula right off bat? No, the NICU did, to increase calorie intake

What are your thoughts on Cover vs uncovered? Personally id cover, but applaud moms who dont.

Why did you choose formula?as a micropreemie She needed increased calories

Why did you choose breast? Its nutrients designed specifically for my child.

How did you make your decision? Followed ny gut

What was your influence? Research, lots and lots of research, along with my heart

Advice on increasing your supply? I was naturally an over supplier so, no

Do you pump? I did, exclusively.

Do you premake your bottles for 3 am feedings? Nope, hubby got up for work, so he would make it and feed early morning feeds

What are your night time feed schedules? (For breast and formula) i dont remember, she slept through the night at 2 weeks old, adjusted age.

Do you tandem feed? (If your kids are close enough in age to do this) nope, only have one

Do you have to supplement? After my freezer stash started demishing, yes.

Yes you can answer per child if you have more than one! Please do... Let's make this a trending topic.

brimorales @ngujen, I had to stop bc she made my nipples bleed so I pumped and gave it
ngujen @brimorales, ah that scares me 😭 but I'm going to try breast feeding first for sure!
