I breastfed my first. I returned to work when he was 7 months so I knew he would be having a bottle too, so started giving him a bottle from about 6 weeks, once a day using expressed Brest milk, I continued to give bottle and breat until 10-11 months when he decided to self wean. I continued to express and gradually introduced cows milk.
I'm planning to breastfed my second. It's hard work at the beginning but so worth it in the end. Milk on tap, no messing around making formula in the middle of the night or sterilising all the bottles.
I didn't decide I would definitely breastfed as you never know how it will work out, all I decided was to give it a try,

Breastfeeding is best if u can. There is no minimum. Pediatricians recommend at least 3 months, I think you should try to at least. But it's up to u. I am breastfeeding my 3 month old and I love it. I'm trying to go for a year. If u choose not too, there isn't anything wrong with that. Everyone is different and it's your decision. Doesn't make u any less of a mom or a bad mom for formula feeding.
