For those who FF frm day 1- Just curious

[OmarsMum]

I dont want to start a debate thread, but I'm just curious. I never visited the BFing forum & never thought of doing so.

Did anyone do?

I wanted to BF but my seizures were out of control so only managed to express a few bottles. I'd say he was practically FF fully fed from about 3 weeks plus? x

I never wanted to with my son, thought it would be to hard and time consuming etc... I was also young and wasn't told about it or anything either. He was FF from birth and oddly
even the nurses didn't talk to me about it.... anyways I don't regret my choice with him at all. I chose to BF Kayleigh knowing she would be early and that she would need the extra boost and well, I just wanted to I guess lol It's weird how different you can feel from one pregnancy to the next.

My eldest - just turned 11 was FF from day one and ive done the same this time as well with DS2. I have no regrets at all, it was an informed choice to do so :O)

Earl was FF from day 1 by choice. I never wished to BF so never visited the BF forum, but I have been in occasionally to look up some things for a friend who does BF, and also when I had some freakishly bad pains at 5 days PP which I later found out were completely normal

I may well express for the next one we have if possible (still not decided on this yet) so I may go on a bit more to gather some information for later on.

I FF my twins from Day 1. I had actually wanted to BF but the hospital recommended againt it as the twins blood sugar levels were dangerously low when they born and I wasn't producing any milk. It was just a decision that I made with the hospital staff to ensure that I could monitor the babies intake and I'm really glad that I FF now. A lot would probably disagree but the twins are doing really well and gaining great weight so that's all that matters to me

I FF from day 1 as I felt it was the right choice for myself and my lo. Think I will do the same for the next baby.

 

[purpledaisy2]

Yep, I did.

I do really wish I'd given breastfeeding a go, even if i'd only given it a few attempts.

LO was fine FF from birth though x

I didn't know what I wanted to do when my lo was born! But he was shocked when he was born and the pediatriction wanted to make sure he wax feeding so we decided to ff to keep track of what he was taking! I never made any milk or leaked just had a sore bust
