Anyone else chose to FF right away and not breastfeed?

Question

I have been getting a lot of hate for not wanting to breastfeed and I’m curious if there’s anyone else out there who chose to ff right off the bat as well? If so, are you happy with your decision?

Answer

FED IS BEST! As a health major I freaking hate hearing people say “oh but the benefits” they both have benefits. Obviously FF isn’t toxic like come on people, if your baby is fed and loved and healthy then try not to care what others say! My mom FF me and my two siblings, I plan on FF my future kids. It’s 2019 if your baby can come out with gender X then you can FF.

Answer

I’ll TRY to breastfeed but if it doesn’t work out I won’t be disappointed 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I’m choosing to FF right from the beginning. I breastfed my first and didn’t have a please fix experience. I’ve gotten backlash too. Ultimately it’s MY baby, my body and my choice. I’m sticking to it 💁🏻‍♀️

Answer

I pumped but didn't nurse. Will probably do the same again. Is didn't have a deep desire to nurse

Answer

You can’t win. With my first, he totally quit breastfeeding at 4 months, and I wasn’t ready. Second kiddo is 4 months and absolutely hates bottles, and I’m tired (and I get nothing from pumping for some reason). Remembering fondly being able to send first kiddo off to visit Grandma for a few hours and not having to worry about him being fed.

Answer

I ff all 4 of my children from the start. I have never want to bf so I didn’t  if anyone asked me y I said because I didn’t want to and that was it. I am completely happy with my decision and have no regrets at all.

Answer

I’m hoping I can nurse baby number two even it is for a month but i’am hoping to nurse and pump for 6 months, with my first baby I wasn’t aloud to nurse because he was in sick kids hospital in Toronto Ontario for a month he was born with cdh and he was on oxygen and a feeding tube and NG tube and he was hooked up with different wires so we had to get him use taken the bottle but he did get some of my milk and I did try and nurse him when he came home but he pushed my boob away from him and I didn’t end up with a lot of milk,, and he was happy with just having his bottle, I went to a group for breastfeeding and I found all of the women were stick up snobs and I didn’t go back it doesn’t matter how you feed your baby if you nurse or you just use formula. And it’s sad how other women will put you down for not nursing your baby and those one I hate them.

Answer

I hate the fact that women get judged for how they feed their kid. My son doesn't match, so I exclusively pump, and I can't tell you the dirty looks I get in public when I pull a bottle out to feed him. Little do these morons know it's filled with breast milk, but the judgment is there regardless. Do whatever you want to do to make your life easier, your little nuggets going to be fine either way

Answer

I FF my first from the start and guess what....she’s healthy, rarely gets sick and is sweet smart 6 1/2 year old! Breast feeding is not for me and since I work in a restaurant there is no taking time to pump and leaving my tables waiting for me. Whatever decision you make should matter, what should matter is that your baby is fed, happy and healthy! End of story!

Answer

I BF my first and now my second and I hate when mothers judge parents for choosing to FF. It doesn't matter why, it's your decision and im so sorry that people have been making rude comments.... I have 9 nieces and nephews and some were FF and some breast fed and no one cares how they were fed especially now that they are grown. You do you girl!
