Breastfeeding?

Question

Anyone decided not to breastfeed? Need advice!

Answer

Personally, I enjoy my time breastfeeding. But it took a lot of work to get here. I say a happy healthy mama is better than a bitter broken down one. Do what I'd right for your family.

Answer

Breast is best no matter what thw formula milk companies say - i have 4 nieces that werent breastfed and they are all extremley skinny and they do not eat there dinners yet i the rest of my family have been breastfed an weve all been fine and not fussy eaters - i will have to adopt so i wont have the oppurtunity but if the oppurtunity is there take it - it is better dor mother and baby and less likely to cause post natal depression and plus a better bond - and you can always bottle breatmilk when you are out or so the dad can feed baby, plus yoy can be lazy.

Answer

Thank you all so much for your input!

Answer

I used to work in childcare and the majority of our moms didn't breastfeed because they had to go back to work as soon as they could. I will say that over the last few years breastfeeding as become much more popular than it was for awhile. I started there in 2000 and over almost ten years we probably had only 2-3 breastfed babies and then between 2011 and 2014 we had several at once. Don't let anyone push you into doing something you don't want to do. Breast milk is wonderful but formula will feed and nourish your baby too.

Answer

With my first I tried very hard to breastfeed.  I bought into the nonsense that a mother that nursed was better.  I just could not produce enough milk.  I continued to nurse but had to start supplement.  I felt so guilty, I wish I hadnt.
