Breastfeeding & Pumping Moms
Im a FTM, I would love to breast feed don’t know how long I’m going to stick with it but I would love to try. I am also going to pump because I will be returning back to work in 6 weeks after I have her. This is the second day my boyfriend and I has been going back and forth on how the baby should be fed. I told him I would like her to get use to my breast for about 2 weeks because I don’t want to confuse her or introduce her to a bottle when she first arrives. I don’t want her to not want my nipple and just want the bottle .. so I will be pumping as I am breast feeding and after the second week then we can introduce the bottle and he can feed her when ever he wants back and forth between my breast and the bottle , to get her use to it before I go back to work .. he thinks I’m trying to keep all the bonding time to myself .. he feels as if he should be able to feed her with a bottle 2-3 times a day when she first comes out so he can get bonding time instead of giving her to me 24/7 every time she is hungry ..
my question to you guys is when did you start introducing the bottle to your newborn? and how many times did you feed them with the bottle vs your breast? & do you guys have any advice?
