How are you planning to feed your baby?

Question

Answer

I want my SO to experience feeding our baby as well :)

Answer

I would love to be able to breatfeed at home and then when we go out anywhere be able to have pumped and bottled.

Answer

If you're doing breastfeeding at all, PLEASE talk to a lactation consultant before you start pumping. I have been there and I know it's tempting to let SO feed the baby, but if you start pumping too early on it causes HUGE issues for you and baby - mastitis and infection for you, more choking and issues w baby's digestion. Your body gets confused - most LCs are included in insurance so please talk to them!
I'm exclusively breastfeeding - my hubby loves bonding with our baby in other ways and he loves that I nurse our baby on demand. :) He baby wears, does skin to skin, etc.

Answer

I plan to exclusively formula feed, but that is because I am on class C medications that I am currently not taking while pregnant and for my own health it would be best to get back on them as soon as I can. Obviously that's not something that I can do and breastfeed.

Answer

I tried exclusively breastfeeding my daughter, and it just didn't work out. She was frustrated, I was frustrated, and hubby was frustrated that he couldn't help. With this one I'll give it a shot, but I'm not going to let it get me down if I can't. My daughter got mostly formula, and she's smart and healthy.

Answer

I'm going to try to exclusively breast pump
