I'm going to breastfeed but am only 9 weeks preggo so I won't be for a while-

They say its breastfeeding is great birthcontrol, not true my best friend was strictly breastfeeding (no bottles) her daughter was 8 months old when she got pregnant again.

I've never believed that. I have done nfp, had an iud, and am now on the mini pill. Just wondering about other alternatives. My daughter is 9 months old, so i'm almost done anyway. Just getting nervous because I got pregnant with my second baby when my first was 11 months. It's getting close.

Have u thought about the norplant?

I'm gonna be using the pump for maybe a month and then start using formula.

Me too. I think I will breast feed for about 6 weeks, then go to formula

Using a pump? Or really breastfeeding? And do you know what type of formula you're gonna use yet?

I want to be able to breastfeed, but might have to pump so her daddy can feed her too. I dont know what kind of formula yet! I dont know which is best, which isnt....Thats somthing I have to look into more I guess! Do you know??

I have no idea either, but I keep reading in these baby magazines about enfamil and similac so i'll probally use those.

Yea..I see lots of ads too in the mags I get.

that's safe for breastfeeding moms? I haven't heard that. I'll check into it.

you will have plenty of milk in the beginning. Pump some and store it in breastmilk bags in the freezer. Baby will still have breastmilk when you're not home. You can still nurse and daddy can still feed too. Or pump and hand him a fresh bottle of milk to give the baby.

Im going to breastfeed also. But about that and birth control ive got no clue. Hehe me knowing how to care for a baby ive love to learn new stuff so im up to hearing anything on stuff like what this topic . I hope I mad sense

I plan on breast feeding for 6 mnths then formula. I dunno about the bc issue either.

those are good
i am using the carnation goodstart, it isn't supposed to curdle in baby's tummy like the other ones do.

I know that when I have a baby I will breastfeed, a coiple of my friends have used good start and loved it

Well I willllll be breastfeeding when dylan gets here...

But hey I dont know if this is relivant but I had my nipples peirced not any longer but I did... Will that effect it?

I heard that it may make things more difficult...But I cant say forsure. My friends sister had a baby and she couldnt breastfeed b/c hers were peirced. I would ask the doc!

My doc said that it shouldnt be a problem but I dont think she has too much knowledge on pericing boobies
