I plan on formula feeding but at my 34wk midwife appt she told me I should consider first feed from myself as that's what they prefer?! When I had my daughter there was no opinions etc on what should be done.
Anyone else formula feeding but planning first feed from yourself?
Hey girlies! I plan on breast feeding my LO as much as I can. I also plan to formula feed when needed. Have any of you moms tried organic formulas? How was it? Experience?
Ladies I need your help! I’m planning on giving baby her first feed from the breast so she gets all my colostrum but after I’m using formula. Did you mummies that formula feed take the ready made bottles with teats to the hospital in case you had to stay in?
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 and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
What is Yall opinion ?? Would you put your spouse first of kids ?? I would put Brandon first because without him none of this would be possible . (Doesn't mean I don't love my kids ) it's just that if we were having dinner is feed him first. This should be interesting....

They prefer the first feed to be from you because your colostrum has a lot of health benefits for the baby, it also helps to sooth baby after birth and it encourages skin to skin and helps with bond between you and baby. I was planning on formula feeding but after that first feed I decided to carry on breastfeeding but I know plenty of women who have fed for the first couple of days or just done the first few feeds in hospital and then switched to formula. You'll have no issue switching. I'd just go with what feels best for you :)

Midwife said this but felt like they'd think bad of me if I don't. I expressed for my 1st but she was premature over 12yrs ago and I was so pressured for that. 2nd I tried breast feeding but she was having non of it
This time I just feel bottle will be better x

I honestly wouldn't worry about what the midwives think. You may feel as though you don't want to do the first feed now but change your mind after baby is born, or you may not, which is fine. Just go with what you want to do at the time x

They are not allowed to say that it is up to you how you want to feed your baby! X

I know they have reasons for “preferring” it but it’s upto you

I breastfed for 3 days before going to formula. They prefer first feed from breast so baby gets colostrum and it will help soothe and bond skin to skin xx

I’ve breastfed all of mine but I am planning on formula feeding this baby just for the sake of my sanity. I will try and combo feed for the first 2 weeks though x
