thoughts on breastfeeding? trying to decide what to do.

Question

Hello lady's! I'm only 5weeks and 2 days pregnant but I think I have made up my mind on breastfeeding. Lady's did y'all like breastfeeding more? Please help me way out pros and cons

Answer

unless there is a medical reason why you can't breastfeed, you should breastfeed . women who don't just cause they don't want to are selfish. I'm unapologetically sanctimonious about this .

Answer

Once u get into the routine of it, it truly is easier. It's cheaper, convenient, health benefits for baby, and helps you lose weight. I love breastfeeding. I love the bond I have with my baby during. It's so special to me. It's def worth a try. In my opinion at least

Answer

I breastfed each of my kids for 1.5 to 2 years. It saves you hundreds of dollars, it's natural and easy and it makes nights easier.

Answer

It hurts really fukkin bad sorry but I had to express the first times my nipples peeled I cried I hated it... a month after I could eat breastfeed have a convo and forget I was feeding lol if you want that bond and know your baby is getting the best milk on the market go for it but the shit is going to hurt at first!!! Excuse my language☺️

Answer

If your lazy and want to waste thousands of dollars go with formula you can throw a bottle at em or someone else n go back to sleep but if you want to bond with your baby and save money at the same time breastfeeding is the way to go

Answer

I exclusively breastfed all 3 of my kids, I almost gave up with my first because it hurt a lot at first, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. I know it significantly helps their immune system because as soon as I weaned, my older 2 boys started catching illnesses and they were never sick while they breastfed. My 3rd daughter is 6 months old and my oldest brings home all kinds of bugs from preschool we've all gotten sick except for her or, or she gets a very very mild form of it. So I strongly believe in breastfeeding for immune support aside from it being free, a good bonding experience etc.

Answer

At first breast feeding was hard because my daughter would unlatch and scream but we saw a lactation specialist and kept working at it and it's been the best decision for us. I love breastfeeding my daughter. We also supplement with formula sometimes and I pump. Pros: it's free, bonding time, good for baby. Cons: time consuming, leaking breast.

Answer

I'm breastfeeding my second baby who is nine days old. I formula fed my first baby who's now 7. 
Breastfeeding has been so hard but I do want my baby to get the healthy stuff it contains and it amazes me that she's been able to gain so much weight in such a short amount of time just from what my body produces. I was not prepared for how time consuming it would be but so far I think it's worth it.

Answer

My daughter is my first child and I've been Breastfeeding her for 9 months now. So I don't have any Formula experience. The pros: Health benefits for Baby and Mom, it's free, no need to clean bottles if you exclusively Breastfeed/fix bottles in the middle of night etc., you have the option to pump if you need a break.
The cons: I am my daughters pacifier.

Answer

i'm not per-say breastfeeding just yet because my little guy is a preemie and still in the hospital, but i am pumping every 3 hours.

breastfeeding to me is such an rewarding feeling because i know my baby is getting the special nutrients that my milk produces for him. it can be very time consuming, but like i said it's very beneficial.

but everyone is allowed to have an opinion. some moms don't want to and that's totally ok! i'm not one to bash and i can also see their point of view.

Pros: 
it's beneficial for baby
it's cheap
i feel more connected to baby

Cons:
time consuming 
my nipples are sore 24/7
you HAVE to do it every 3-4 hours or your boobs hurt sooo bad 
i'm literally a leaky faucet so i have to wear my nursing bra 24/7 with nipple pads
