its not bad to breastfeed then switch to formula hun.. thats what i did..its also ok to pump but youll miss out on the bonding.. just
make sure you give him your milk in the 1st few weeks coz that contains Colostrum-- yellowish in color and helps with the babies immune system..

im with shinieshoes..ive been watching youtube about it early this morning.. i did it with my first child and will definitely do it again.. my daughter have not had any worst sickness so far just the usual cough and cold and fever.. plus its true that they dont get obese..and ive read too from readers digest that it reduces the chance of breast cancer.. and it will definitely save you alot! and its hassle free coz you wont have to mix milk, wash bottles, sterilize etc.. all you got to do it bring it out, latch him there and there you go..
