feeding baby

posted 5th Sep
formula?
If this is your choice, what brand and kind did you choose and how did you decide?
Breast milk?
If this is your choice, how long do you plan to breast feed, or do you plan to pump and still bottle feed?
Both?
How and why did you make the choice you did?

Formula- Enfamil Gentlease, I chose formula due to complications with breast feeding.
He was fussy and gassy, that's why he's on Gentlease.

I would like to EBF, but I had to go back to work, so most of the time he gets formula while I am gone, unless I have milk stored. I would like to BF him until he is at least 1 1/2 maybe 2.

Well with my youngest who is 7 months I was breastfeeding and things were working out really well until he grew teeth at 6 months and bit me so hard I bled   After about 2 weeks of that with him not letting up on the biting, I weaned from the breast. I also have a heart condition, so I needed to get back on my meds anyway. While I was breastfeeding, I pumped for him while I was at work and nursed him at all other times.

He is now on similac organic formula.....I picked that one because it is sweet like breastmilk and an easy transition for Myles.

I breastfed for about 8months If I'm not mistaken, I still pumped but I was loosing milk quickly & switched to formula, I used enfamil. My Pedi told me that was my best choice if he wasn't good on that formula he would switch it but it all worked out fine.

I was EBF but then I started having complications and we realized she's lactose intolerant..and she would have trouble latching, after four lactation consultations I finally decided (with much thinking) that formula feeding might be best, she gets what wic supports here, which is Goodstart Soy Plus, she gets the plus because it's easier for her to digest. I hate not being able to BF but maybe the next one i'll have better luck.

I FF. I use Enfamil Lipil. I chose formula because BF wasn't working for either of us.

funny thing with my second - (16 years ago) I had planned to BF until she wanted to stop - be it 4mo.s or 4 years - at 7mo.s she made it clear she was done! haha
I was all geared up to defend her and I and that toddler BF but no such luck.
Good luck to you both and good for you (and ur babies)!
