In the beginning I was not going to breastfeed my baby, but after going over the information I have decided that with my smoking issue and the fact that its just better for the baby to go on and breast feed.
My only other issue is that when I was younger I had a bad experience and I can not handle having something latched on to my nipple. I know it would make me very uncomfortable so what I have decided to do is pump breast milk and bottle feed it and also formula feed. So that way when I do go to introduce her to formula there will not be any chance she will not take a bottle. She might not talk the milk but in that case I will only do the breast milk.
Does anyone think this will work?
I'm thinking by doing it this way she will be getting to best of both worlds.
I'm also thinking of doing more breast milk then formula in the first 6 weeks and then the older she get the less breast milk.
I will be a new mom next month and I really have no idea how any of this will work. My whole family thinks I'm crazy for even trying the whole breastfeeding thing, but to me it seems to be the better choice for my baby. So I want to find the best method for both Rylee and I.
How long do babies even take bottles?
