Good luck to you! Ant milk your little one gets is awesome and the more you nurse the more you supply comes in for pumping.

U know that breastfeeding is mutch healtier then formula. It boost ur babies imunization mutch better. And whats wrong about breastfeeding ur child till 1 or even more. Resercers say that U should do it up til 2 years of course you do feed the baby regular food to.
But instead of giving formula why not pump...mutch better and healtier for ur child. There is no formula in the world wich gives your child the same exsact nutrition like breastmilk. So try to pump..then U dont need to spend mutch on formula to..its a win win situation

My son ate like am little piggy though he started cereal at 5 months and gradually food from 6 months on. He would take water and juice from a cup by I'd say 6 months it was just bottles. Every child is different though. He was weaned at 9 months. He is a very clingy child though. Love him to death but at four he's still very clingy.

I tried to breast feed with my first but he was allergic. Ended up in the hospital several times :( I didn't have a choice but to do formula. now I am on my second pregnancy going to try and breast feed, but bottle feed when my husband wants to help.

Attempted to pump and give him the bottles at times. Mostly at night so my husband could help but he literally refused the bottle. I ended up having to ween him on a sippy cup
