Re: breastfeeding
I'm doing a combination of all of the above! We had problems BFing in the hospital because Emily had breathing trouble when she was born. she was on IV and we couldn't try breastfeeding, and then when she was cleared to try she wasn't allowed out of the NICU and we just got off to a bad start. So I've been pumping and feeding her my milk in bottles and supplementing with formula. We still try BFing almost every day and she actually did it for 30 minutes this morning!

Re: breastfeeding
I also do all of the above. I mostly breastfeed, pump once a day, and give one bottle of formula at night.

Re: breastfeeding
I am doing both as well, my son is strictly on breastmilk - which I pump and breastfeed. My daughter for right now is on formula, cuz she had "breastmilk jaundice" so she has to be on the formula for a week.

Re: breastfeeding
I BF and try to pump 1x a day (usually in the middle of the night.) I have given her 1oz of Alimentum these past 3 nights just to get her used to the taste (which she hates). I am doing this cause I had to throw out all my frozen breast milk cause i pumped it when i was eating dairy (which Dr. thinks sidney is allergic to). So in case I don't have enough BM I need her to be able to take the formula so I can have sombody else feed her while I work or just need a rest which I have decided i deserve
