I'm Currently Feeling:  | I'm planning on breastfeeding, but I've bought a pump too so that I can share feeding with DH after the first few weeks.
I have to admit that I'm a bit weirded out by the whole idea of BF but hoping that it will come to me naturally as soon as I start.

| Breast for me too.
I breastfed Ella for 3-4 weeks then the pain got unbearable form cracked nipples...........and I have to say as soon as she went onto formula she was a much happier baby and she slept through.............but Im still going to give it a try this time and see how confident I get with it, last time I wouldnt do it in public xxxxx |

I doubt it... To be honest the thought creeps me out. And I have enough experience caring for other newborns etc (through working for a childrens aid foster home and working in a hospital) to know that you do not need to breastfeed to have a special bond with your baby. You also dont need breastmilk for them to be healthy 
Like rae said, breastmilk= money savings... I am pretty sure I will need to supplement with formula too though... I can't keep weight on as it is. I eat healthy and lots of it and I will gain some weight and then it just drops off.
Id also like my OH to be able to feed the baby, and the babies grandparents etc. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Ill be trying to breastfeed again i did it with my first for 10mths but only due to the fact he wouldnt take a bottle or have formula milk he hated it. The health benefits from breastfeeding are mega i had chicken pox and was always ill Benn never once got sick. But i dont want to get lumbered again with a baby that wont take to the bottle so will introduce a bottlefeed early on as i never really liked breastfeeding when i was out and about. |
