Then God saved me and I realized there is SOOOO much more that goes into our kids' development than just their method of nutrition intake! I still feel that if breastfeeding is feasible for a person, it would be more beneficial than formula, but like you said, you will have THREE kids. So you are wise to consider how it will affect the rest of the family if you are on breastfeeding lockdown with your baby.<br />Hugs to you and I appreciate your honesty!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845622507428013574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546007747456627734.post-64832127757712429872013-02-19T06:49:08.977-08:002013-02-19T06:49:08.977-08:00Off topic but I noticed that Lily was born on my d...Off topic but I noticed that Lily was born on my due date (this year)! Whatever you decide to do, it's up to you and don't let anyone make you feel bad for it. I felt the same about making homemade food for Isaac, I was sure I was going to do that but when the time came around, it was just too daunting and time consuming that I just decided to get the best jarred food I could (organic) and that was that!Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641652041680449421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546007747456627734.post-47466012594525432062013-02-15T14:31:41.626-08:002013-02-15T14:31:41.626-08:00I breastfed my 1st and only child so far for 2-3 m...I breastfed my 1st and only child so far for 2-3 months tops. It wasn't because of low supply or any trouble with feeding, it just stressed me out and I could not do it anymore!! I wanted more time with my daughter before I went back to work and just wanted to be happy. I think I had guilt at first when I had to tell people I was stopping but I honestly moved on pretty fast (but noone really bothered me about it thankfully) because I knew it wasn't worth my unhappiness to please others. I pray that you have peace no matter what your decision and you have a happy heathy baby and a happy healthy you!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275779371739170944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546007747456627734.post-69562929139689362362013-02-15T12:51:31.742-08:002013-02-15T12:51:31.742-08:00thanks for your encouragement :)

I really regret breastfeeding as long as I have with my second, because of the price the rest of my family has had to pay. Btw, my milk supply always decreased when I started pumping. My body just didn't seem to be stimulated by the pump like it was with my babies. You never know - maybe this time around will go more smoothly if you do try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
