I planned on breastfeeding, LO had severe tongue tie however so couldn't latch, I was expressing, but couldn't produce enough and she lost a ton of weight so started combi feeding until my supply dried up.

I didn't want to breastfeed at first, but I decided to give it a go and it was honestly a much better experience that I thought.

I breastfed. Went into it with an open mind and thought if I don't do it I won't kill myself. We Continued breastfeeding until he was 16 months and he self weaned, it was an excellent.

Been BFing for 10 days... It's been a lot harder than I expected, not coming naturally at all... Improper latch, low supply, tried everything the lactation consultant had up her sleeve, the only thing that actually helped was fenugreek capsules (and holy crap did my boobs explode after that, I can fill milk cartons now!) ...now to work on the latch...

i pump, so bottle but with breast milk lol. we where having issues with getting her to the boob and i really wasn't enjoying it as it was causing stress, so now i just pump. Hopefully the people big on breastfeeding don't jump on me , but i am still giving her breast milk so whats the diff?

Breast fed both mine, and if I'm fortunate enough to have anymore, I will be breastfeeding.
