I chose to formula feed before my first one was born. I was not comfortable with breastfeeding. It wasn't for me. I have to say, I loved formula feeding. My husband, friend and family were all able to help feed the baby. I agree with the…

if you primarily breastfeed, and occasionally supplement with formula, I too would recommend the ready to feed kind - you more than likely won't use a jar of powder within the month is is "good" once opened. I used what I could find…

Thank you, Saray and everyone!
I am personally going on my 24th month of breastfeeding my daughter Bella, but have raised this question due to the fact that I am observing a lot of guilt and judgement of mothers on both sides. As a health…

Exclusively breastfeeding is always best. There are cases where supplementation with infant formula is absolutely necessary for the sake of the baby and to save the long term breastfeeding relationship. Of course we all know that mother’s own…

Just about all of it the same. IMO if you start supplementing early on and do it failr often, your breastfeeding realtionship won't last very long or as long as it could have. I returned to work when Cohen was 6 weeks and pumping was a pain but…

I am grateful to have had an extremely successful breastfeeding relationship with my daughter for 13 months (and going strong!). Watching her grow and absolutely thrive has shown me that we're doing the right thing.
I personally believe breast…

I agree that breast is best. I feel for moms whose milk supply isnt sufficient, but there is usually an underlying reason for that...whether mom is not resting enough (off feet and napping with baby) to dehydration and nutrition deficiency. There…

Exclusively breastfeeding is best in my opinion, and then giving bottles of expressed milk is second followed by formula supplementing. Supplementing formula can have hurt your supply and if done too much some babies start to refuse the breast…
Jen Aliano replied to Mary Oscategui's discussion 'Thoughts on Breastfeeding vs Formula'
I think that exclusively breastfeeding is most definitely the optimal choice, if it is possible, and better for mom and baby. If formula is needed (as is can be for some), I would highly recommend not doing soy, stick with organic if possible, and…

I've been exclusively breastfeeding my daughter for almost 12 months now. She has had one bottle of breastmilk when she was 3 weeks old and she got such a bad tummy ache I vowed to never give her one again no matter how hard it was. And the…

I personally don't supplement with formula. I love breastfeeding and have been able to breastfeed each of my 5 children exclusively for at least 6 months, and continued to breastfeed past a year. Some of my babies have had the occasional…
Rachel replied to Mary Oscategui's discussion 'Thoughts on Breastfeeding vs Formula'
I think supplementing is fine, as long as you have an established milk supply. I supplemented with both my boys , but continued to breastfeed exclusivley at night towards the end of thier first year. As far as what kind of formula, I used what WIC…
