Do know what to do!

Hey this is my 3rd pregnancy I'm 25weeks 4 days.  I'm in 2 minds weather to breast feed or not. I always breast feed when the baby are just born, I do and I don't this time because I don't feel comfortable doing it in front of my partners family or in the hospital or incase it's to much for me. If I was to i think I would express as well. With my other to kids I do everything really on my own even though I'm with my boyfriend he works. Plus there isn't much point asking him to do night feeds cus he can't hear when the babies cry lol. Anyone else feel the same?

First off do u want to breastfeed? If so, who cares who's around. If u need privacy dont be scare to say so. If u need help with feedings? pump out the milk and have some stored in the fridge. Anyone can help warm it up and feed the baby.

Frankly I wouldn't give my baby formula even if someone paid me to.  Breastfeeding is so much better and so, so much easier than messing about with bottles.

Best thing for feeding is a big baggy cardigan, it's really easy to keep your front covered but without having to cover the baby's head.

im on the side of breast feeding the benefits are to great not to my son hasnt been sick not one time in his life hes one and i do believe breastfeeding had alot to do with it since your body can adjust to help baby fight sickness but its really all your choice momma i loved it first go round did it for 10mnths i shut it down because my doc told me it hurts your chances of getting pregnant as long as you are doing it and we want our kids back to back plus i wanted my girl which i didnt get lol got another boy but once agin mom its your choice

I didn't feel comfortable ethier with my first baby and she didn't want to Lach so I pumped so she still got my breast milk and the good stuff from it

My daughter had tongue tie, so we had to see lc and she was also in the nicu. I was real shy about it. My mother in law was real invasive and never really left me alone when it came to nursing. But after a while I worked up the courage to tell people I needed to nurse and I left the room. It was always a nice escape. Now at 17 months, I don't quite care. I don't nurse in public, but she's on solids so it isn't an issue. Cosleeping and nursing in bed got me through the grueling first months. My husband worked so I never expected him to help out. Warming bottles in the middle of the night just *****! There are so many benefits to nursing. You have time to decide, I'm sure you'll make a good decision. Whatever that may be. Just try not to let outside factors play a role.

I wanted to nreast feed but was to shy to do it with people around. My son wouldn't latch at first tho and was put on a feeding tube so I had to express and tube feed him it so if you don't want to do it around people what I did was when I was alone and comfortable I breast fed and expressed and used a bottle for when we went out or was with family
