I would have sued! I did pump at work and stored it in the fridge. I am a 19 year old BF mom to an 8 month old. I don't care if you pump or supply it strait from the tap Breast is best. We plan on 1 year because after that cows milk can be used. I also believe that all children NEED for the first year is breastmilk, Solids are something the child and parents choose to start but are not needed till after the first year. That being said We do eat solids here. As for BF in public I'll whip it out anywhere anytime, I tried to cover up in the begining but she just pulls the covers off. I'm perfectly fine with that. When my babe needs to eat I feed her. It is completely natural.

I feel that formula should have to be prescribed for mothers who can not breastfeed or choose not to with the support of their doctor. Especially people on social assistence, they should be breastfeeding it's free. I had major issues adjusting to the sexual nature of breasts while pregnant and dealt with the pain and adjustment.

Really when you look at it breastfeeding is cheaper, easier once established, better for your child and chasnges as your child grows. I hear so many sleep deprived moms talk about night wakings and feedings, you just take your babe into bed feed her then move her back to her crib.

I practiced some areas of ATTACHMENT PARENTING and breastfeeding is a large foundation of it. If you really want to check these places out and read why some people choose to extend breastfeeding.

Chronic Chrissy Reviewed by Chronic Chrissy on . Breastfeeding How does everyone feel about breastfeeding? I work with a lot of new moms who have never had experience with latching on- trust me, it can be very difficult to begin breastfeeding, in addition to the plethora of complications (underdeveloped milk ducts, mastitis, nipple soreness) and I find more women, particularly younger moms, are choosing to go to formula. For the moms out there, did you breastfeed, or use formula? Or even both? Which did you find suited you better? In addition to Rating: 5
