    Question Breast or bottle feeding?

    I'm a bottle feeder. I did try breast feeding this last time, but it didn't work out.

    Breastfed all three. Dd weaned at 6 months , ds#1 I HAD to wean at 17 months and ds#2 weaned at 12 months. I have to say that I am so happy that I did it and I don't look down on anyone who tries and doesn't succeed. I had cracked nipples with all three and it took some strong resolve on my part to keep going.

    I breastfed both my kids, although not for as long as I wanted. I had a hard time pumping and had to go back to work, so they got the bottle after that.

    I had problems nursing after I went back to work too. I'm hoping that won't be an issue this time.

    I desperately tried to breastfeed both of my dks but I couldn't. I was heartbroken that it didn't work. I spent weeks with the lactation specialist at the hospital where both kids were born and we just couldn't make it happen!!!! So both of my babies were bottle fed.

    I breastfed exclusively until dd was 6 months old, because that's when I went back to teaching. I continued to bf in the morning and at night until she was 1. I plan on breastfeeding any future children while I am on maternity leave as well.
