that's the thing about breastfeeding classes. they're so pro breastfeeding that they basically fill your head with negative things about formula and how it's so unhealthy. yes, breastfeeding IS best but who's to say your baby won't come out just as smart or healthy with formula :p both me and my sister were formula fed ( my family is old school portugees and don't see much of a difference ) anyways, we don't have half the things doctors say will happen to formula fed babies over breastfed.

with that said, I've done research , as I said above. And I have decided on my own to breastfeed. my family is trying extremely hard tho to discourage me from doing it :/ since I'll be the first one to actually try it. but it is healthier, and faaaaar less expensive and easier for you and baby. it's worth a shot ! Just keep an open mind, not all moms produce enough milk or their baby just won't properly latch on. so just be prepared for all that.

but please don't say you wanna give up breastfeeding all together bcos someone makes u feel dumb about it :/ I'm sure that wasn't their intention at all !

i hope  i didnt make you feel that way! :( unfortunately you will hear unwanted advice....im expecting to get that once my child is born. however, you do what you think is safe for your baby and doctor approved...the hospital i go to is in the top 5% in the country :D so its one of the best and i must agree!!! theyre fantastic and make you feel good about yourself, if you cant afford a pump, they let you use theirs for 6 months for free and lower the rental cost to something affordable for you :)

i had my nipples pierced last year (took them out for the military) and now im scared milk wont come out bc i strictly want to BF

breast feeding actually is the healthiest you can ever give to a baby...makes them less cranky, they sleep better, less health problems and saves you more money...if i told you whats in formula, you prolly wouldnt want to give your child formula :P i had a class on formula because i was dead set on formula feeding and im soooo i changed my mind....also the poops are wayyyy less stinkier and not as messy :)

but good luck on what ever choice you choose =]

p.s. breast feeding does help you lose weight fast and makes ya look darn good afterwards =]
