No. You sound very sensible and caring to do all that for your child.

Pump milk and have it available in bottles, but continue to breast feed as much and you and baby would like/can tolerate.

Well I not sure when I should give bottle or me reesecup 8 months ago .

Yeah, that's a tough one. How about when you are available and feeling really patient, you offer the breast? And when you want a little time off or just can't handle the fussiness, you offer the bottle?

The important thing is that you're so tuned in to your baby's health and needs. I don't think you can go wrong! .

Actually makes good sense. If you ever have to leave the baby with a sitter, it will be alot easier on the sitter and more comfortable for the baby to take the bottle. Whether the milk is in a bottle or coming directly from you, the key point is making sure that the baby is getting enough to eat.

I have 4 kids, you seem like a caring mom.

It sounds like it is the better solution. He gets your nutritious breast milk, gets to use the bottle which he prefers. And this frees you up to a certain extent.

I applaud you for your concern.

No you would be a good mom. Some can breast feed but what works for you and you baby is best. Besides its still your brest milk so its the same thing only a little less personal but still a great mom.

Don't let anyone tell tou different. And if you would rather breastfeed then there are classes and peple who can help you.

Pumping was harder...I could not do it. But you may figure out if you are making enough milk. Breast feeding with the breast may bond him to you more.

FWIW, all of us three Davises were bottle fed formula and all three of us ended up with a breast fixation as adults. There really is something imprinted in that first experience. On the other hand, by pumping your breast milk, others besides mom are able to feed the baby the good stuff and the baby doesn't have a cranky mom.

My daughter is 3 months old and I switched to ready-to-feed formula from breastfeeding. I had the same issue, she would always fuss and seem to always stay hungry. Before you decide to switch to bottle remember that the amount of milk you will pump will not be the same amount that the baby will suck from your breast.In some cases, your milk production will decrease if you pump so make sure you drink plenty of water.

Good luck with your baby! .

Very helpful thanks reesecup 8 months ago .

You can certainly pump your milk. I do not feed my four month old daughter off of my breast. I pump the breast milk into a bottle and she drinks it from there.It is more work, but a good alternative if feeding off the breast proves to be difficult.

Go with the bottle. You will feel better knowing how much he drank.

But I feel bad like I breaking our bond reesecup 8 months ago .

You will not break any bond. I was sick and could not nurse my children and we are as close as peas in a pod. They don't even remember any of that.

The people that want to brainwash you will try to make you feel like a failure. Don't allow it.

Thank you very very much I feel better reesecup 8 months ago .

If I breastfeed and bottle feed with my milk will my baby get confused and not want breast anymore.

Yeah, that's a tough one. How about when you are available and feeling really patient, you offer the breast? And when you want a little time off or just can't handle the fussiness, you offer the bottle?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
