Breastfeeding

Not at all! Only if you want to have milk stored for later or so someone else can give them a bottle. Most women like to have some so their partner can give the baby a bottle or for when they go back to work but if you dont need/want to this then no!

My little one wouldn’t take bottle so I exclusively breastfed with her till she was 11 months. This time I’m going to try combination feeding again in the hopes that he’ll be different from his sister and actually take the bottle lol. Nice to not have a baby dependent on you all the time and to share the night feeds x

This is a good question. Also, is it mandatory to get a breast pump? I’m 30 weeks and haven’t got mine yet cause people keep telling me that the baby might only be feed from the breast and not the bottle. I’m confused lol first pregnancy here

I have decided to extract milk and feed. Because I plan to go back to work after a year and transit from breast to bottle might be a challenge later. But yes initially yes breast feed so that the milk production can start. Not sure what I am planning is right or not. Any comments on this are welcomed.

Same applies, only if you want to pump for the reasons above! Even if you do want to pump they say not to pump until after at least 6 weeks when breastfeeding is well established as it can interfere with your supply. So I am not buying a pump until I see how it goes. For example if you cant breastfeed for whatever reason, you will have wasted a lot of money on a pump.

that does make sense! Will prob wait then and see how it goes.. I really want to breastfeed though ☺️ I’m gonna try my best. Thanks so much for replying ❤️

I always heard that some babies once you feed them from the bottle they won’t be so keen to have milk from the breast anymore… but I don’t even know if this is true as people always say millions of things and this is my first baby. Although I don’t plan on feeding with the bottle if I am lucky enough to exclusively breastfeed ☺️ but I don’t see any reasons as why you shouldn’t do it if you feel like that’s gonna be the best for you! Good luck x

I hope I’m lucky enough to breastfeed mine exclusively until she’s 11 months too 😂😍 I think that is such a blessing. But I do understand that it might be really exhausting have a baby depending on you to feed them all the time! I hope it all goes well for you x

Let's try and go with our baby's preference

exactly 🙏🏻
