Breastfeeding ?

Hey all,

Well, as most of you know I’m due at the end of July. Yay. I’m planning on BF. With my son I did, but only for about 2weeks(not ever well) and then pumped for a month.....We did gave him Formula as well... So my question is, I do plan on going back to work asap with in about 2weeks after he is born. So I will be pumping most of the time. So should I even BF on the breast? I do plan of giving him formula as well in till  my milk comes in. Or should I Bf and then gave him a bottle for every feeding in till my milk comes in??

Thanks, I am def. going to Bf before I give the bottle, I just know my son will be on the smaller side and any EX weight(from the milk) he can get would be great!

I would try to bf just for the calming time you both can enjoy together.......I'd try BF before you introduce the bottle that way you can do both usually if you give them a bottel first they won't BF too......it's more like work LOL
