POLL: FF or BF?

beachbum482 · April 2013

Just out of curiosity I am wondering how many of you ladies breastfeed vs. formula feed.

I am doing both as my supply has dipped quite a bit since going back to work and only being able to pump twice during my 8 hour work day.

BF and pumped milk on the 3 days that I work.

Still BF - with an occasional formula bottle. Since I'm a SAHM, the stress/work I've always had to put up with to pump isn't worth it, so I keep formula on hand for the one or so bottle a week E has.

We FF here. I had a 32w preemie and we did half bm and half f for 4 months until we made the switch to formula.

Both.

I applied for a job out of the blue, was given an interview not even a week later, and a week after that I started. I never got a chance to build a supply.

I pump once before going to work, and once at work, and only getting aro
