Who's planning on breastfeeding?

[aob1013]

Hi girls,

Just wondering who is planning on breastfeeding?

I'm determined to breastfeed, and have nothing in my house to aid bottle feeding. If i can't breast feed, i'll express .. FF will be my last resort.

I haven't seen many people saying they are/aren't .. so just curious

I breastfed my little girl for 7 months, ALWAYS wanted to breastfeed, and OH supported me which was brilliant. I'm 1000% going to breastfeed this next one. I loved breastfeeding Robyn, it was such an amazing bond.. ahhh i can't wait to do it again

TIP: If you are going to breastfeed, it can be very uncomfortable at first, sore nipples and things, bare with it as it does get better, and it's worth it Lansinoh cream is brilliant, definately get some if you can.

breast if i can... have bought a pump to help it. but I won't feel guilty about FF if it works out to be what happens xx

 

[Sophiiie]

I'm the same as Eabha'sMum, I'll do everything I can to breastfeed, but if for any reason I can't then I'll use formula x

I want to breastfeed for the first 3 months. However I had a dream the other day that I couldn't do it and everytime she tried to feed I would just bleed :S So now I am worried! I have brought a pump so FOB can feed her too so if I can't do it myself then maybe we can just express and she can feed that way. I like the idea of breastfeeding as it is good for the baby and helps you lose weight. If it doesn't work then it will be formula but I hope it works!

I am not entirely sure yet.
When I was in hospital last week they asked if I would like to, I said I hadn't fully decided but would like to maybe give it a try, they said I could express (as they are expecting her any day now) and I like the idea of that, especially as she will likely be premature breast milk would be best for her.

I have bought formula, bottles & a steriliser - just in case. But I really haven't set my heart on either yet, just waiting to see what happens.

Not pregnant anymore but I am breastfeeding, and I love it, its so much easier to just pull out a boob than it is to make a bottle. And its a great bond. I'm also expressing so if she stays with someone she can take a bottle.

 

[~RedLily~]

I'm breastfeeding, i honestly didnt think i would be able too so bought everything to bottle feed.
Anyone who does want to BF definitely get the midwife to help because in the hospital i had no help so the 1st two days were awful and so painful i was on the verge of giving up because ella was always hungry but after the midwife came to my house and showed me ive not had a single problem and it doesnt hurt. my mum suggested getting a pump so i could have a night off and i just cant bring myself to do it because i love that its a bond only i share with her.

I tried for about 3/4 weeks but she would be alot of the time routing for ages and not latch on so she'd end up really screaming, and it really hurt me. I wish I'd of kept it up and tried expressing but FF works ok for us and OH can help more. I'll deff try it again though with my next LO

 

[Natasha2605]

I don't BF Summer. It's just not something I wanted to do xx

 

[bbyno1]

i wont be breast feeding..it just isnt for me either x

 

[abbSTAR]

Meee definitely!
its what ive always wanted from the start, i have got bottles and everything else as well for weaning etc plus when hes a creche whilst im at school for two hours i plan to express my milk soo as he can be fed without hassle. ive just always thought it was an amazing thing to do but my mum and nan were never able to breast feed but fingers crossed i can eh? if not ill just have to express it allll.... (hope not) but if i have to formula feed then i will, at least i tried xx

 

[veganmum2be]

i am very determined. many reasons behind it, i have bought a feeding pillow with back support that i am taking to hospital to help, as i dont want any formula to even touch my babys lips.

i have however bought a steriliser, bump and bottles, i wish i hadn't bothered cos baby will always be with me so i wont need to express really, i just got them so others could feed later on after breastfeeding was established, but it seems like such a waste lol.

i dont even think of formula feeding as an option. i plan on breastfeeding until baby weans himself or he gets to the age of 2ish.

 

[LizzieC]

I'm hoping to if all goes to plan

I agree with Kailynnsmommy, it must be so much easier just to put LO on your boob than have to worry about making up a bottle, much easier when you go out too, no need to pack any feeding supplies, you boobs are always going to be there and ready

 

[loopylass]

I really really want to!! want my baby to beable to get antibodies from me, its cheap, FOB can still feed as I will express milk, and there are so many advantages to breastfeeding instead of bottle.

But if it hurts and baby cant latch on I will just xpress, or bottle feed as the last alternative.

And I want to loose weight afterwards, amd this is the best way!
