What are you feeding?

Question

I know a lot of mamas had a 6 month breastfeeding goal. Now that we’re about there, I’m curious where everyone is at or planning to be as baby reaches 6 months. 
I’m still pumping and giving mostly breastmilk but I’ve started giving larger amounts of formula as well. Hoping for some breastmilk daily for as long as possible. 😊

Answer

My goal was 6 months...I really want to start incorporating formula but I have so much anxiety about it. Idk what kind to use, I don't want my supply to go down because I still want to nurse at night and be able to pump twice during the day...I'm scared he will hate formula...I'm scared it'll hurt his tummy. Idk I just have all these worries about weaning and I'm psyching myself out lol

Answer

I switched to formal at 2 months. I had a lot of problems with latching and he lost weight so I went to formula. I got really depressed about it too but my husband was able to feed him and help out a lot so it got better. And his weight went up... happy baby, happy family lol

Answer

Almost to 6 months EBF. We’ve started some purées as well. Planning to continue breastfeeding through a year as we’ve had no issues so far. I start nursing school in January so he will be in daycare and I’ll be pumping during the day so I’m hoping that doesn’t mess with him our routine since he only takes bottles occasionally (with no issue but he just loves the boob lol)

Answer

I exclusively breastfed for 5 months (went back to work full time at 3 months) and just in the last 3 weeks have started to drop feeds/pumps and supplement with formula. She gets mostly formula now and I breastfeed at night. My goal is to make sure she’s getting some breast milk still until at least 6 months which is next week. 
I had a lot of negative emotions about it at first but it has been good for my mental health to do this.

Answer

We’re mainly BF here, she does eat now. Thing is, she refuses to take a bottle, even if it’s breast milk and warmed. I was forced to put in my two weeks at work bc of this issue.

Answer

My goal was 6months.
We started solids at 4, and daycare at 5.
When we started at daycare we switched to formula there. So I still breastfeed at home morning and night. 
Works well for us so far. Bit of an adjustment but kinda happened naturally for us.

Answer

I'm started doing a bottle of formula at bedtime over the weekend because it helps him stay asleep for longer stretches. Other than that 1 bottle, he's being breastfed 😊 I'm just going until whenever lol if his teeth start hurting me more we'll probably stop. 
PSA: He bit my nipple this morning (for the first time) and laughed repeatedly. 🤕
