I say breast, but I would NEVER bash someone who formula feeds. Both my husband and I were formula fed, and we both turned out fine. We chose breast originally for the benefits and then found out a few weeks after my son is due that we are going to be out of work, so it became a cost issue! lol

The skin can tear. Just like little cuts if the baby osnt latching correctly or if you don't break the latch. You have to put your pin key in the corner of the mouth before pulling away. There is creams that help healing and pain.

You have to ween the baby off. I am going to go until 12 months this time but I only went 9 months with my first. He got so sick for the 3 months I had him on formula. He threw up constantly and gained so much weight in such a small period.

I would prefer breast but I'm a no judger. If you can't or don't want to breast feed then whatever works best for you :)
With my first I was only able to breast feed to 4 months before becoming engorged and not able to breast feed anymore. This time around I'm hoping to at least make it to 6months if not a full year. But whatever happens happens!!
