Tips?

Question

This is my first, and i just wanna know I'm doing good. When I have the baby should I breast feed directly or use a pump, and how long do I breast feed before I start the baby on regular food? What's are the best diapers to buy when you're on a budget, same with bottles and wipes and such. Any other tips and tricks would help e

Answer

Breastfeeding or pumping is your choice and will come down to your preference after you have the baby. I hate pumping and find breastfeeding to be far more convenient, but not everyone likes to nurse :) Solid foods should be given at or after 6 months (not 4) and when baby is ready; sitting unassisted has been shown to correlate with gut readiness for solid food, and baby should also be interested in food. People may say that early solids such as cereal or even food will help baby sleep through the night but that is simply not the case statistically. In fact it might even make them sleep worse, because their tummies hurt. We cloth diaper and save a ton of money that way (or at least we would if I could stop buying more 😂 it’s an addiction) you could get a good stash for $200-$400 and be set through potty training and for subsequent children. I can’t help you with cheaper disposables If that doesn’t sound good to you though! No idea  lol

Answer

You can do both if you would like! I bottle feed but it may be handy if you're breastfeeding to get a pump too so that other people can feed baby sometimes and so that you can store breast milk in the freezer for emergencies or if you need to give baby a bottle
For the first year baby will get their main nutrition from breast milk/formula and the recommended age to introduce solids is 4/6 months (6 months being ideal!
I'm not sure where you live but I live in the U.K. And I swear by asdas little angel brand of nappies, they are £2.50 a pack and you get like 60 to 70 nappies in the pack depending on the size you're buying, they definitely help not to break the bank seeing as you use so many! 
If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer, my baby boy is 5 months tomorrow so it's all fresh in my mind haha!

It up to but it's also up to the baby to some babies do breastfeeding but some like my son just won't breastfeed at all
