Breastfeeding or Formula??

Question

I’m undecided if I want to breastfeed or use formula..I have a two and three year old and am afraid I won’t have time to breastfeed and take care of them too..Any other moms on baby #3 with other kids around the same age as mine?? Thinking i might just breastfeed for two weeks or so and switch to formula

Answer

I’m on my 3rd and plan on nursing. It’s less stuff I have to remember (can’t forget your boobs!), less stuff to wash, and it makes it super easy to calm a screaming baby.

Answer

I’m having my 3rd, and this will be my 3rd time breastfeeding. I can’t imagine having to pack up kids to go buy formula, wash bottles, make bottles, etc. Honestly, I’m too lazy for that! My kids will be 6.5 and 2 when #3 arrives. 
I think that if you set your mind to nurse for a short period then see how it goes that’s a workable goal. Maybe focus on nursing for 4-6 weeks and if it’s going well, set another goal for another 4-6. If it’s overwhelming and you’re not enjoying motherhood, then amazing! Switch to formula.

Answer

I have a 3 and 1 year old. I didn’t breastfeed my first but did for my second for four months. I’m going to try to breastfeed again but it was extremely time consuming for me and I won’t put myself through the struggles at the expense of time with my other two and stress for feeding my third. If it works, great. If not, formula is super easy and convenient and others can feed. I read an article recently that said “Breastfeeding is only free if a mother’s time is worth nothing”. So I’ll weigh the benefits as time goes on. Also, my first child never got sick ever and my second was perpetually sick even though he was breastfed so that was a rough thing to go through.

Answer

Nothing wrong with either choice!

Answer

I have a 7yr old and a 2yr old and I’m undecided on what I want to do this time around. I am going to be doing online school full time and I just feel like formula would take a lot of pressure off of me (I struggled a lot with nursing my first 2). I’ve considered trying to nurse for a few weeks then switching but I’m not sure yet!

Answer

I breastfed my first daughter, my second had to formula feed, she had to be in nicu & I wasn’t getting enough milk w the pump.. but this time I do want to try my hardest to breastfeed again as in my opinion is way easier then formula feeding.. breastfeeding is harder the first month. But if you can get through it, it’s easier.

Answer

This is my third, I’ll be breastfeeding again, my older two can have that time to play together or even watch some tv. If its like my second they will probably sit there and pat the baby 😂☺️
