breast feeding

[baby_boy_aboard]

How many of you ladies breast feeding?  Or plan on breast feeding!  If you are how do you feel about it? Are u going to continue till your babies 6 months at least or u planning on quitting?

I plan on breastfeeding for at least a year. This is my first, so we will see how it goes :)

If you do breastfeed, depending on how much you weigh, consume more calories! I was only able to breastfeed my daughter strictly for 2 months bc it was causing me to lose weight. After I had her I went back to my prepregnancy weight of 112 then dropped to 108, being that I'm 5'8 thats not a healthy weight to be.

@LadyBeeley i kno wat u went through because people stared at me too wen breas feeding but i just ignored them....

I was being indecent. Why couldn't I just pump. I was breastfeeding in public for a rise. I was being rude. At one time a teenage boy tried to argue that breastfeeding is "mouthrape" and even pointed me to where he was getting his info for that off facebook. I dont think it's right to cover your baby up and make them eat in shame. We wouldnt do that when we were eating. And people find breasts awkward bc social media has turned them into sex objects, toys for men. It was just so frustrating and im usually a tough cookie but man. Nothing is harder than being scornes for taking care of your baby.

I plan to breastfeed my daughter as long as possible. Hoping to go for a year and than switch over to normal things

I dnt kno lol....wen they were born i tryed giving them formula because i was planning that after i recovered from the csection i wanted to start working but they never liked the formula so i was breast feeding them...after they turn the right age to eat baby food i would try again with the formulabut didbt take it so basically i was stuck lol giving them breast milk.. i really stopped giving my first son at 1 year 2 months because he started bitting me and that hurts like heck lol so i just stopped. Just try as long as you can and as long as your baby wants

I breastfed my first for two months before I got so sick of people saying something to me or talking about me every time we went out that I tried to exclusively pump. But pumps didnt work for me so I switched to formula only to fond out its tearing - literally - her stomach from a lactose allergy that I didnt know was in my biological family. If you wantto bbreastfeed dont give up bc of other people! I regret it so much.

^^ how did you get your babys to breastfeed that long? Im a ftm and I would like to bf as long as possible

[Jessicag1231]

I breast fed my 2 sons and planning on breast feeding my 3rd. My first son was 1 year and 2 months wen he stopped. My second son was 1 year and 11 months wen he stoped if it wasnt because i got operated for my appendix he would of kept going lol. Its the best thing you can do for ur baby and it help you too.

I'll be breastfeeding and pumping for a while. I really want to go past six months hopefully I can. If he's like me when I was a baby I was allergic to milk for a while so hopefully he won't be but if he is then he'll be breastfed even longer.
