booby feeding tried to get DD on a bottle but she wont have it :mad: 9 more weeks and no more booby for miss Hayley (I hope) she will be 1 by then and I want to PARTY but we'll see:laughing:

I'm bottle feeding. I breast fed for the first week.

Yep me too, bottle feeding. I did breast feed for the first week, but now am bottle feeding. Sometimes I wish I had made more effort breast feeding & wish I was doing that now then other times I am really glad that I bottle feed rather than breast feed. I think that with my next bubs I will try to breast feed for longer.

Hayleysmum- Have you tried the TommyTippee bottles that have the teat that is large & similar to a breast? I have a friend that uses them & she found them a great help when weaning her bub from breast to bottle.

Breastfeeding and loving it this time, I don't ever want to stop :laughing: :o

Tried to get a few bottles in but she hates them!

[ButterflyMama]

I couldn't breastfeed due to badly inverted nipples so I pumped every 3 hours for 3 and a half weeks.

Now I bottle feed. :thumbsup:

Bottle feeding the twins

[jacks mum]

Breast, which suits me because of my organisational skills, I'd go out and forget a bottle or the formula or something. I'm flat out making sure there are enough nappies and change of clothes for the 2 of them.

Bf for a few days and then onto the bottle.:yes:

[HollyHotLips]

Bottle and wish I'd just started in the first place as DD was so much happier (as was I) that she actually got some food rather than just screaming and refusing to put my nipple in her mouth properly!!

Hi im now bottle after attempting to breastfeed for over 8 weeks and my supply then stopped and had a very upset baby- doing a lot better mentally now that i have stopped but miss it and still feel upset that i cant feed.

Alexander is a year old now, and I give him 2 bottles a day, but he breastfeeds the rest of the time, probably 4 feeds during the day, and twice at night.

Breastfeeding here. I dont think I would have it any other way. Most of the mums I know express b milk then bottle feed due to work commitments. Im curious to know how many mums are doing that here too? I had heaps of issues BFding with right nipple at the start with a cracked nipple but persisted and it all worked out well. The Australian BFding Association was helpful too. If I do switch to bottle, I think ill invest in an electric breast pump as I had trouble using my manual one. So far weve tried formula on DD1 once and she hated it.

I have to express for every feed (6-7 times a day) and I have been doing that for 4 months now!! I want to go for at least 6 months

i breast fed for 3 days...never again.

[babyflash]

BF'ing for me and i agree threesweetpeas i love it
i especially love that it is something that my daughter and i share and that nobody else can share with her, though as some of you may have read in my "please help" thread i was worried i wasnt doing it right but i have decided to continue with breast only thanks to some lovely advice from some awesome ladies so to those ladies that offered me their advice :hugs: 's to you.

DS is a booby boy. Having a few issues ATM, but hoping they will resolve soon, because up until the last week or two it has been awesome.

I am breastfeeding, and really enjoy feeling so close to baby. she loves it. it is cheap and convenient!
