I don't have a baby but I think formula is better most of the time just cause most people are actually not that healthy, we don't eat well at all and if you eat bad things then your milk is not gonna be great so formula is better cause it's always the same things and have all the nutriment it need (I mean we're in 2022 not 50s anymore).

If you wanna put the babys health first there's nothing compared to breastfeeding.. it gives them necessary nutrients which is very important for their healthy growth. Formulas also have nutrients but that's no match with the natural source. If there's no extreme difficulties moms should not give up on breastfeeding.

[virtue2332]

Whatever the infant and mother can tolerate. If it causes a great deal of stress to breast feed then don't do it and use formula instead. It's always best to try the natural way but women have to prepare ahead of time and get their nipples ready for it.

We wanted to use beastmilk, but OH didn't produce. Our 2 kids been brought up on formula, dosnet seem to have harmed them. Gave us the flexibility that I could do night feeds which OH was struggling with

I breastfed my now, almost 2 year old daughter !!!

It was a great experience. I'm pregnant now and will definitely do it again !!!

[ms_and_ms]

Congrats!

Breastfeeding if possible... though I heard it can get uncomfortable or even painful so when the time comes I'll definitely invest in a pump. And I'm hoping to be able to do it till they're about 2, even if continuing with a bottle. There's just no better option for the baby if the mother can do it.

Breastfeeding!
1st baby- I exclusively pumped for 6 months
2nd baby -breastfed for 2 years
3rd baby- just now hitting month 5 of breastfeeding

[malwins]

When did you manage to get pregnant

[TonyMetal___86]

@Apple1996 miss apple it seems that you were blessed with boobs that produces a lot of milk haha

That's very good for the babies...

[Apple1996]

@TonyMetal___86 yep and I milk share so other babies are drinking my milk too

[TonyMetal___86]

That's good if you can give if their mothers aren't able to produce much...

In this case you're husband should buy and feed you more vegetable and fruits or buying you natural juices so that he fills you're body with the vitamins that you are losing and ofc you need love and comfort while you're breastfeeding

[Apple1996]

@TonyMetal___86 I do try to eat healthy and take my vitamins so I make good milk

[TonyMetal___86]

Very good 😊👍🏻

[LovingLoverReturned]

meaning that from your second baby you didn't pump?

[Apple1996]

@LovingLoverReturned I pumped with my 2nd and 3rd and used it for other things like milk baths. Made butter or other items, also donate it too

[LovingLoverReturned]

Ahh I see. Cool. So I guess pumping increases flow due to stimulation. It was not uncomfortable?

[Apple1996]

@LovingLoverReturned no pumping doesn't hurt if it's done right

[LovingLoverReturned]

Cool, thanks for sharing. Interesting and useful info

[TonyMetal___86]

Beastfeeding for sure, no milk in the world contains the essencial vitamins the way the natural milk does...

A woman have boobs not only for sexual purposes but originally to lactate and produce milk for her babies...

The more the wife feels loved by her husband and making her comfortable and happy, the more milk her boobs produces...

[Lyndsielee666]

I did both. Liked breastfeeding better than formula. I bonded better with my youngest and not having to get up in the middle of the night to make bottles was nice 😂

[Still-alive]

when can you bond with me tho?

jk :P

[Lyndsielee666]

@Still-alive 😏😏😏

[LovingLoverReturned]

Breastfeeding... even if for comfort sometimes... if I've to use formula I'd probably try this method known as drip drop feeding, I would also use the right diet... it would still involve stimulating the breasts to produce even if very little...

[LovingLoverReturned]

I heard that with this method sometimes the drips don't get in the babe's mouth so waste... but if possible to put it as close to the nipple and it is a very small and soft tube then I'll still at least try.

[LovingLoverReturned]

I should look up pumping for sure.

[SnakeBoop]

I breastfed both of mine for not even a week then switched to formula.
Happier mama, happier kids.

[CubsterShura]

I might go for both if I think my life requires it, but I don't want to skip on breastfeeding and want to do so exclusively for at least the first 4-6 months and then continue along with feeding other foods for about 12-24 months.

[ChromoTec]

Breastfeeding has been scientifically proven to give kids higher IQs, do better in school, and be less prone to infections and diseases. I understand there are reasons people would want formula, but if breastfeeding is an option, I would definitely go for it.

[jennifer_bloom]

A lot of woman become obese during their pregnancy so if I’m taking chemicals or doing keto to lose weight, I do not want to breast feed because my milk might be contaminated by weight loss chemicals.

[Guy13]

I prefer sucking the real thing….

BUT, I’m willing to continue Training and Critical Skill Analysis until Real Tit has healed from last feeding.

[molonski2]

I voted other , but Im saying " Breastfeeding if possible " but if I were a woman , I would not want a baby skewing my breasts forever , so Id use formula , not everyone can breastfeed.

[Selena1987]

Breastfeeding is better for both mom and baby
For baby, it results in higher IQ, stronger immune system, ….
For mother, it helps weight loss, boosting metabolism, less probability of breast cancer ….

[SarahP080102]

I do not have a child but I will breastfeed when I do.

[EmmaMary]

Hopefully in seven months time I shall be breastfeeding our second child.

[jshm2]

Breastfeeding is obviously best.

Formula cannot provide all the nutrients or comforts, but is more a stopgap between breastfeed and necessity.

[exitseven]

We breast fed all of our kids. It is better for the baby and we saved a ton of money not having to but those little jars of baby food.

[matchrestore]

My son was breastfed and formula fed at the same time.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Breastfeeding is the best option, so whenever possible you should breastfeed.

[AviatorTom]

Breastfeeding is preferred, and can be supplemented by formula if needed.

[annabananna]

If I can do it I will breastfeed. It’s a lot healthier to the baby and breast milk never goes under recall.

[padreflint]

Breastfeeding is better for the baby. I've known women who had trouble breastfeeding and others who wouldn't for reasons of their own.
If the mother decides to or not is her choice, no judgment.

[Sunny183]

Indian womens shy to breastfeed in public but they should understand its necessary for child and should not think of others. Also others should not make the women uncomfortable by looking at her only

[Anonymous]

Breastfeeding is sooooooooo much healthier for a baby than formula. I understand some women can't but whenever possible, breastfeeding should always be the first choice.

[FunkyMonkee]

I prefer breastfeeding. It's a LOT more fun and actually doesn't taste all that bad!

[MountAverage]

I don't know, I haven't been breastfed in a long time.

[WhiteBoyChill]

It would make me very uncomfortable if I had a minor sucking on my tits. Even if it were my child.

[RandomGuy1030]

I've heard females say formula to protect their breasts looks. Where is my hand

[laurajade]

Formula! Then you're sure the baby gets what it needs.

[katiesmuff]

I was a breast feeder for all three of my kids.

[dustybiker]

Depends on the child. Some do better on either or.

[Rendomlikua]

Breastfeeding becuse Milk is a lot of healthier.

[LEADFOOTboi]

i much prefer to be breast fed 🤠

[TacosRAwesome]

As long as baby eats and shuts up I'm not fussed.

[little_rose]

Eating from a plate using cuttlery

[Iron_Man]

Breast-feeding is good for the kids

[MrTaboo]

Breast feeding is far better for babies

[Joker_]

I need to be breast-fed

[TX651]

Hope you have enough milk for me to suckle?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Don't care.
