well...
i tried feeding charlotte.. when i was in the hospital the auxillary nurse looked at my bobs and said. u have flat nipples.. i sadi ive got what? flat nipples its hard for a baby to latch on to them.. lets try her.. so she tried ehr.. grabbing ehr head n trying to shove her onto me..i was almost in tears.. she said phone ur mum and ask ehr to get u nipple sheilds..
well i didnt wanna bother my mum, she had already gone to the shop for me... so i decided i would wait till i left the hospital.. and that was that they didnt try her again..
i got home bought a breast pump and a nipplette - where the cup thing sucks ur nipple out and mangaed to alternate breast and formular, till my midwife gave me a row.. what are you doing breast or bottle u cant do both u will confuse her.. i jsut burst into ttears, and gave up feeding ehr...
my mw was a complete moo tho.. and this time im gonna have better support and i will feed both breast and formular if i struggle..
i think formular is easier, more expensive, and more convienient for shopping, and baby sitting..
i think breastfeeding can be more painfull, time consuming, cheaper, and gives u a special bond..
theres no doubt that breast milk is best for babys.. but formular fed babys do just as well on formular..
