I tried with my other kids unsuccessfully.  But I still insist on trying go through with it. What y'all going to do, and what you all think?

Good luck with feeding this time around! :) the first 2 months can be a bit tough, but all very worth it! I suggest also that you get connected with a location consultant, as a lot of doctors, nurses and even midwifes don't specialize in breastfeeding and can give you false information. Fyi you shouldn't pump milk until baby is 6 weeks as you can get mastitis and bottle feeding can interfere with the babies latching.

Awesome!  Thinking about same thing.

I'm going to be breastfeeding my baby boy (crossing my fingers we don't run into insurpassable obstacles) and around 3-4 weeks start pumping so Dad can take over some of the feedings when he's home. My cousin exclusively pumped and bottle fed her breastmilk but I'd rather be attached to my little baby than a machine 8-12 times a day.
