breastfeeding or formula?

[claudia____]

Which would be better?

[kirstenthecat]

Boobs were made for feeding baby. Please do ur reasearch and see how much better it is for your little one. It is specially formulated just for the baby and eveb day and night milk differ!  You get a great bond with them as well. Breast is best and breast milk never gets recalled

How is formula easier if u have bottles u have to prepare warm and then wash everytime baby eats? True formula keeps baby fuller longer but its a trade off for all the extra cleaning and prepping including 4am feedings (im not bashing formula but I dont believe the statement formula is easier is true at all)

There is NO FORMULA which can 100% give U exact the same vitamine and nuticion as breasfeed can, and almost all dc will r3commend breastfeed if U are capable to do it. And pump if U have to go back to work.
resercers event till today havent been able to make a formula wich is exact the same as breastmilk(if some here clames its not true dosnt know much or probably havent read about it). I am not saying these things to make U or anybody here to think formula is bad etc, I do understand some woman who cant breastfeed as long as they want to becaus3 they dont have enough milk, and thats ok formula is better then nothing. Do what ur capable of and go for that

A lot a people are going to say breastfeed cause its healthier and you bond with you baby more but there are formulas that aren't so bad and you can bond just the same, but really when I comes to that choice its up to you. I'm going to use formula so for the fact its going to be easier, and I won't have to feed every 2-3 hours.

I have 2 kids and I'm on my 3rd. I formula fed my first 2 because I have rheumatoid arthritis and couldn't breastfeed due to the medications and my kids are 6 & 7 and can count on 1 hand how many times they have been sick yet my sister's and friends breastfed and their kids were sick all the time and they say your kids are healthier being breastfed which I don't believe and supposedly breastfed kids are smarter which I don't believe either because my kids are as smart or smarter then some breastfed babies. So I say do whatever your comfortable with. I will be breastfeeding this baby cause it's cheaper and I think I'm in remission with my R.A.

Breastfeed:3

I am going to breastfeed.  Its what they were made for lol and yes it is healthier. And whats cool is that your nipples absorbs the babys saliva and if it is sick you will make antibodies in your milk to make the baby better.

Bf is the easiest , cheapest and by far the healthiest. I bf my daughter exclusively until I went back to work when she was 3 months. I tried pumping a good supply so my parents could bottle feed her. But my supply did not keep up with demand. So I had to add formula to the mix. At around 4 months. But bf when I got home for work. I have to say that this baby has zero digestion problems when I only bf her. She only spit up once. But there was more spit up once on formula. But not too bad. I only stopped at 10 months when her too teeth came in and she decided to be a little meanie. Lol They say that it helps your baby with better brain development. But the only thing I have to add that might contradict that is I was 100% formula fed as a baby in the 70's. and I think I'm pretty smart. But my youngest sister was the only one who was breast fed and she turned out to be a raging lunatic bipolar mess lol. So go figure :-/

I breastfed all 3 and plan to breastfeed this time as well

I breastfeed my daughter till she was 6months old and I will be doing the same with my son when he is born it worked out the best for me but not everyone has the same experience its all up to you but they say breast milk is better

I Nursed My Son. I Should Have Waited Longer To Start Pumping Though. I Hardly Made It To A Year. I Will Again With The New One.  This Time I Plan To Pump Atty About 7 Or 8 Months So I Don't Run Out!! I Have Friends Who Formula FeD, Just Because I Disagree Doesn't Make Them Bad Parents. A Lot Of Women Get Pressure From Both Ways. Its Most Important To Know That The Choice Is All About Making You And Baby Happy And Healthy....Not What Your In Laws Want You To Do!

There are lots of reasons why bfing is better over formula (an article I read recently listed about 20 but a couple things weren't on it I noticed) but there are a couple formula has over bfing too like knowing exactly how much baby is eating but if ur baby is having dirty diapers thats not a big deal. Research it and decide whats best for u. I bf for a yr and I wouldn't have changed it for the world despite having lots of issues I luved it!

Which have you guys done?

[doulamommy]

Breastmilk is definitely better for baby, more convenient for nighttime feedings, and reduces your risk of reproductive cancers.

The Best Thing Is What Works For You And Your Baby, Always. That Being Said, Breast Milk Is Most Healthy.
