I am definitely going to breastfeed....Not only because its healthy, but because I dont wanna have to pay for formula.

I see no point in paying for formula when your body is capable of making the real thing.

Only way I would not breastfeed is if something goes wrong, like some peoples milk never comes in. So yeah...As long as I am physically capable of breastfeeding I am going too.

Yea that was another reason is the expenses of formula it is way to expensive, why buy it when you have the real stuff right under your nose!

Exactly

Yep! I'm gonna do it.

Yeah, I want to pump my milk into bottles though. Breastmilk is very good for your babies, why else do you think god had it included with the whole baby package

Haha - yeah. I bought a breast pump and storage container things. That way I can leave nathaniel with my family while I work and stuff. And they wont have to give him formula.

I breastfeed and I love it! Ive saved so much on formula and its so good for baby! Its a wonderful bond too! Danica hasnt been sick yet (well I gave her formula once and she vomited from it cuz it was outdated but thats it) shes never had a ocld or nothing. Its wonderful to breastfeed!

How old is she now? Is that her pic (your avatar?) she is cute!

I'm gonna do that too kristin, partially. Mainly so that mike feed her sometimes!

I think its a good way for me and adam to bond with the baby during feeding time ya know?

Yupyup.. I am breatfeeding for sure. Saves tons of money, and I want my baby to be healthier. :d

Thanx! She's gonna be 3 months old in a week!

Linux- its very helpful when u pump milk too! U just gotta wait till after 6 weeks so they wont get nipple confused. Lol! Is mike gettin excited bout bein a daddy?? How much longer now??

Yeah! I'm gonna be a housemom, sitting at home all day taking care of tru, but I want mike to be involved too. He refuses to change diapers, so feeding would be a great way. And much better to use breastmilk than formula for that!

Im gonna be a housemom haha, and taking homeschooling, too at the same time. But nope, i'm not breastfeeding. My mom says im "too young" or something. I dont know, filipino superstitions, lol, but I might just try it with the pump.

Im definitly going to breastfed in mybook its the best choice. It just seems so much easier

Im afraid of having sore nipples and bleeding ~ but thats not my excuse

Im gonna give it a try too. I really want to try it!

Im breastfeeding, and I plan on doing it til at least 6 months. Another good thing about breastfeeding is that you have an excuse to get online(i hardly have time between taking care of brooklyn and housework, not to mention my homeschooling, which I should really be doing) and have one free hand to type! Lol in fact im feeding her right now

alot of people give up on breastfeeding cuz it hurts pretty bad in the begining and sometimes it gets pretty frusterating, but if you have the will then you can do it. I had blisters that popped and they bled, and everytime I would feed her, it hurt so bad I had to bite my tongue. Just keep in mind, that the pain will soon be over, and its really worth it, by being the best you can give your baby, being free and simple(no bottles to prepare in the middle of the night), helping eye and brain developement, giving immunities to your baby, great bonding time, and helps you loose weight! I would say thats definetly worth a week of pain! Also, constipation, and dehydration is rare in breastfed babies, and I also heard that it makes colic less severe, or could possibly prevent it. I know theres a really big list of things, but these are what I could remember.

About pumping~
if you plan on pumping alot, I really suggest that you get an electric pump! I was planning on pumping every morning after the first morning feeding, and its such a pain in the butt with a manual pump, that I dont even like to pump when im just gonna go out for a bit. It takes forever, and your wrist gets so sore, it sometimes it so hard to get the milk flowing and such, and I have a good manual pump. I wish I would have just gotten the electric! It was only $10 more, but I thought I could just deal with the manual. Boy was I wrong!!
