Breastfeeding or Formula?

[bump+me]

You weren't promoting hun lol all you said was that it was better.

I'm not arguing with you , but like I says I will voice my own opinion and when people want to know abpout breastfeeding then I'm entitled to have my say in it.

So it's ok for a breast feeder to say BREAST IS BEST at every given opportunity but it's not ok for a formula feeder to say formula is best?

Maybe it isn't IN YOU'RE OPINION but in the OP's case it clearly is

i just thought this was funny because everyone gets sooooo serious ,
if someone WASN'T feeding their baby then I would be upset! but FF or BF are fine! who cares?

It is funny! People are getting so serious over nothing! FF and BF is basically the same. They are both great for the baby so it doesn't matter which one you do. Everyone has their opions which is what I wanted to hear in the first place, but everyone is getting so serious and nasty over nothing. So I agree it is funny.

this is nothing compared to how some of these threads go lol.

Hey hun. Havn't read the thread as it probably has already had arguments

I had to FF my son in the end due to failing at BF. BF is nutrionally better for your baby all round. And I always recommend trying it even if it's just the colostrum

If your don't want to Bf and go straight tp FF thats fine hun. As a happy mum means a happy baby. All I can say is do your research, talk to other mums and if you do want to breastfeed seek support before baby is here.

But they are not basically the same thing and I thought you really wanted advice on which was best here? Breastfeeding/milk is the best if you can do it. There are a whole lot more advantages health wise to you and baby with breast milk. Its ultimatly up to you though but you did ask advice and some breast feeders and formula feeders are here trying to help just giving opinions on their decisions and stories to help. Never know when babies here you may decide to do either as things do change been there myself and was for formula then went to breastfeeding and stayed that way.

I think a lot of people think that they are basically the same thing when they are not at all.
I thought the same until I learned about it at college!
It's good if people are aware of all of the benefits of breastfeeding cause then they are able to make a choice that is best for them and their baby.

Nope no one is saying you are and it is ok to ff think we just trying to point out the benefits here of the one we choose not some sort of war of guilt thing. She is looking to know which is best so the info is coming from formula feeders and breast feeders a nice balance so she can make her mind up.

I'm not saying you r hun

I haven't said a bad word about FF it's just my personal opinion that BF is better just as urs is that FF is better.

y'know?

 

[bump+me]

I'm not saying you are hun

It's just my personal opinion that breastfeeding is better for baby and yours is that formula feeding is.

y'know?

 

[bump+me]

lol oops didn't mean to post that 2nd one !

 

[QuintinsMommy]

just breast is best is what gets me down, and i think its okay to say formula is best too, which started this all to begin with.

 

[Dragonfly]

I think its just that phase thats been over used and never explained right. Breast-milk is best for baby as it has everything baby needs but if you cant breastfeed formula is a good substitute these days to what it used to be. No one is saying formula is no good it is, I was fed on it and everyone I know I just choose the other way.

She was only having a giggle

When I said they were basically the same thing I meant that they both give your baby what they need, but yes BF does give more. I was just meaning that if you FF the baby is still getting everything they NEED. BF just gives extra. So no one should be ashamed to FF. And I don't think we should be saying Breast is best or Formula is best, it just starts to much and people take it the wrong way sometimes because everyone has different opinions.

 

[aob1013]

Why do people always worry about how much milk their LO's will be getting if they are breastfeeding?

If they are putting on weight, pooing and weeing frequently, and are happy and contented that's all the evidence you need. You can't overfeed a breastfed baby, and when they are full they will stop by themselves.

Ok whatever you decide at the time will be the right thing for your baby may it be breast or formula. theres loads of help and advice with either on this forum to for afters.

Well everyone has their own opinion and that's what Burchy asked for in the 1st place .

ppl got offended because I said breast is best. Anyway there's no point in getting angry just because other ppl have a different opinion.
