Who's planning on Breastfeeding?

Just curious as to how many of you are planning on breastfeeding. If you do not want to, what are your reasons, if you would like to share them with us. I am pro-breastfeeding, I breastfed my daughter for almost 2 years. The WHO (World Health Organisation) recommends breast milk for the first 6 months, and to breastfeed for 2 years. I ope I can breastfeed for at least a year with this baby.

Great to see so many positive responses ladies!

I do agree with twins it is more difficult, my mum had to supplement with my older identical twin sisters, but most do. Hope that DH helps!

I also plan on breastfeeding and since I'm a first time mom I hope I can breastfeed for at least 6 months. We'll see how it goes!

hey lady, have not heard from you in awhile.....was getting worried

as for breastfeeding.....im unsure at this time because of the fact im having twins....i remember with my daughter i barely slept because i felt like a human feeding maching....i started pumping on a regular schedule until my supply ran out....i might do that again but who knows

i know at some point i will switch to bottle feeding because i plan to return to work and sleep at some point
