I think I'm going to breastfeed this time around
That’s amazing!!! It wasn’t hard at all with mine (4) never running out of expensive formula, no dirty bottles, don’t have to get up to prepare formula. And the most important thing its the best for your baby!
I'll probably have dirty bottles because I plan on pumping if I breastfeed
I formula fed my first and breastfed my second. My second was very premature so I had to pump for the first 7 weeks, but omg it was SO much easier to breastfeed! 😭 I hope you’re able to do it!
Thank you and what do you plan on doing with your next baby
@tyneziah, hopefully nursing again. I don’t plan on doing it for 2 full years again though.
It wasn’t hard for me. It took a lot of time in the first few months but after that it wasn’t bad at all. Good luck!
Thanks. Did you use a pump or no
@tyneziah, I did. I pumped a little while on maternity leave and then pumped at work. I breastfed and pumped for 14 months.
Get prepared it’s a 3rd job SUPER hard time consuming with pumping and stressful but rewarding AF too 🖤🖤
How was it rewarding to you and did you breastfeed without the pump or just with it
@tyneziah, I did both, it was rewarding because after I stopped producing my son actually had acid reflux really bad so I got to physically see how breast milk is clearly better for your child and not only that he was soooo much calmer and fuller on breast milk and we had that skin to skin connection and it relaxed me sooo much and him too
@missjaimelee yeah I think I would love the skin to skin connection as well
It’s amazing ! Do it mama!
