For those that already have kids...
I know this is a personal choice but did you breastfeed with your other kids and are you going to again?
I didn't for #1 but I think I want to try with #2.
Just curious.

Re: For those that already have kids...
I attempted to with DD for about a month. She just wanted nothing to do with latching on. They gave her bottles in the nursery because she was in the NICU and I had a csection so I couldn't go see her until the next morning, so they fed her without me even specifying that I wanted to EBF. So she never got the hang of BFing.
I pumped for 8 weeks and then when I went back to work I stopped. I felt like my milk was already dwindling and it would have been to much to go back to work and pump.
This time I definately want to try again. I want to be more adamant about letting them know in the hospital that my wishes are to EBF. I also hope to stick with it longer, since I won't be going back to work after the baby is born.

Re: For those that already have kids...
I didn't with number 1 and probably won't with number 2. Just not really appealing to me. Besides...DD was FF and is a genious. What do I have to lose?

Will be trying again with baby #2.

Re: For those that already have kids...
I had a terrible experience BF with #1. I did not with #2 and with this guy it did cross my mind to pump... we'll see how it goes. Most likely I will FF again.

Re: For those that already have kids...
I ebf dd for almost 6 weeks mostly pumping though. She had a hard time latching. Than I got very sick and had to be on strong antibiotics. I put dd on formula and I lost my supply. I intend on trying again with this baby.

Re: For those that already have kids...
I BF DD until she was 21 months. I plan to do it again this time. Perhaps not for as long. I will let her self wean and see how far we get.

Re: For those that already have kids...
I did BF first time around (not for as long as I would have liked though). I plan to try again this time and hopefully make it a little longer.

Re: For those that already have kids...
I BFed my son until he was 15 months (I was 2 months pregnant at the time and he self-weaned). I loved every second of it and am definitely going to BF this one as well!

Re: For those that already have kids...
I did for about 7 months with dd and hope to again with this one for as long as it works. I definitely don't plan to make myself as crazy about it as I did last time though.

Re: For those that already have kids...
I did with #1 but it was short lived.
This time around, i thought about it and my aunt was supposed to be here to help and so i was going to try again. but now that she can't come... i might skip it.

Re: For those that already have kids...
DS was exclusively BF for 1 year ( no formula at all). I wanted to same for #2, but I got sick and hospitalized and she ended up being formula fed. I would like to EBF #3, and I hope it all goes in my favor. I found BF to be much easier overall, not to mention easier on my wallet.
