How do you feed your baby?

Question

I'm just curious how other mommas have decided to feed their little ones. Breast or bottle, both are great.

Answer

I breastfeed and bottle feed breast milk.

Answer

I pump for a freezer stash & for when we are in public. Otherwise he's breastfed.

Answer

I'm formula feeding my baby. He went to the NICU 30 min after birth and I didn't get to see him for the first 15 hours of life. When I tried to breast feed him he hated the boob and would only take the bottle. I tried to pump but it was so painful because I started drying up so fast I was trying to milk something with no milk. I hate that I couldn't breast feed but he's still healthy and as long as he's healthy and happy that's all that matters to me.

Answer

I'm gonna breastfeed and pump so that if I'm tired my husband can feed her with a bottle.

Answer

I pumped and bottle fed for the first month. Now she gets formula. She wouldn't latch at all. And pumping hurt my nipples. So now she gets formula.

Answer

I am exclusively breast feeding now, but I had to supplement her for the first 2 weeks or so.

Answer

Breast and supplementing with formula. My little girl was born a month early so she needed to be supplemented with formula due to blood sugar dropping. Also she lost almost a pound from birth weight. She is now 5 weeks and still nursing but I'm making an ounce on left side and only 4 ml on my right side. Formula has now increased due to her still being hungry.

Answer

I am getting us back on the breast but she lost 11% of her birth weight during our 5 day hospital stay so we were told to supplement. After meeting with a few lactation consultants we are now latching better than ever. She is 3 weeks old now and I have been EBF the past few days. Dad is still giving her formula until I am making enough milk to pump bottles for her on top of her feedings. She has been cluster feeding the past 2 days so my supply is all going to her. Breast feeding is hard work but all so worth it for my baby girl!!
