breast feeding

[18cristina]

Alright so I hace been debating weather or not to breast feed. I know there are lots of good things for baby and for mom but I for some reason think its disgusting. I hate when I get asked if I'm gonna breast feed or what I know about breast feeding. So my question is is formula feeding really all that bad? Thanks.

If I were you I would just try it at least you may change your mind. And if not you still don't like the idea of it then go for formula. You already said you know the benefits but I just want to add that I absolutely loved breastfeeding , it just makes a bond that is unexplainable (: of course though formula doesn't take all of that away! I have a question though , do you think is disgusting for all the time or publicly breastfeeding? If you're comfortable with it in privacy pumping and taking it along where ever you go might help (: anyway good luck!!

Breastfeeding is really good for the baby's immune system. They're more stronger and healthy. That's why breastfeeding is so encouraged. There are different way to do it. Some people pump milk out and some don't. But really there are no right ways. We are all just mothers seeing what's best for our young.

I can't belive the critisisum here this is a post about a mum to be who is not shore about breast of fomular making her feel bad about formular is not going to help its just gonna make her feel worse if she does try it and can't do it and has to go to formuler. I wish you the best of luck and if you decide to try breast milk and have any concerns or worries feel free to message me and i'll help in any way i can

U too darling.

Thank you very much makes me feel much better about this I think I will just see what happens once she is here. Have that pump and formula ready for her arrival :) have a terrific rest of the day!!

No problem. No one can judge u. Everyone is different.  I personally breast fed both my children and plan to with this one too but I mix it up. Sometimes I will pump it so hubby can feed him too lol formula worked for my 1st child who just hated breast milk and she is just as healthy as the one who is breast fed. When ur baby is in ur arms u will either feel like "yea I can do this" or still feel how u feel. Its just nice when ur have the baby in the middle of the night and ur breastfeeding and they r just staring at u lol or half asleep. It connects u;-)

Not being rude, just informative. You can't handle a difference in opinion or critisism, I'm sorry for that. I don't blame you for being weirded out about it, I just think it's kind of a bad reason to not even try it for the sake of your baby's health. Doesn't affect me though, so I won't worry. Good luck.

Kcanario I've consider doing that but haven't decided just yet :) figured I would kind just know when she was here. And thank u for letting me know some of your friends have felt the same way. Feels good to know I'm not alone in feeling that way

[18cristina]

U have your opinion I have mine just cause a rude stranger thinks I'm immature for it then OK cause u know me to know if im immature right?
I'm not going to sit here and argue with u because u can't handle my opinion so please go on with your day :)

[kcanario]

Hey I agree. Maybe pump and bottle feed it? It helps in soooooo many ways not just for the baby but for u as well and helps u lose weight faster;-). I have heard the "I think its disgusting" part b4 from some of my friends. But I would try it first and then decide how you feel. Its such a good bonding time u might just change your mind once u try it ;-)

[wife_and_mama2014]

Well, it is immature. And I did state, to answer your question, that no, formula isn't terrible. It's not going to damage your child. But you asked, and you'll get comments. I'm not trying to shame you for wanting to formula feed, I just stated I think it's a little immature to not breast feed only because you think it's disgusting. Sorry you can't handle that.

[18cristina]

Then why *comment
Not ask.

[18cristina]

Thank you Victoria for your comment and for everyone else I really don't care if it bothers u that I think is disgusting everyone has there own opinions about things and that is mine so u can also express yours. But if u don't have anything to say to help with the specific question then why ask? So many women on her just comment rude comments to state there opinions on weather or not they agree with how things are said or how others feels how about you just answer the question if u would like to instead of being catty and rude you don't know me to be calling me immature I simply stated how I felt. So for the moms out there who use this app properly And try to help one another I applaud you and for the others shame on you.

Im formula feeding. Dont let anyone make you feel bad for it. If thats what your choice is then go for it. Just make sure you let the hospital now when you get there. Cause my sister wasnt sure and they made her feel so bad she cried. Good luck with whatever you decide!

You think breastfeeding is disgusting? Really? To each their own but how I feed my children is in no way disgusting...

[wife_and_mama2014]

I honestly think your view on it is a bit immature. I don't see anything wrong with mothers who formula feed, but to not try breast feeding because you think it's "disgusting" is a bit selfish and immature. Plenty of moms cannot do so and would love to be able to do it for their child. The benefits to them(AND you) with breast feeding is incredible. I know it's strange to think of doing so, but that's what breasts are biologically for. To feed our children. I'm sure you would get used to it very quickly. Formula isn't "bad", but it's no where near as good as breast milk. I'd think about it and reconsider.

Personally I'm an advocate for breast feeding. After all that is y we have boobs. If you are un shore about it you could try pumping and feeding from a bottle. But formula feeding will not make you any less of a mother. Best of luck what ever you chose
