    My baby is formula fed. I started out trying to breastfeed but my supply was horrible and I had to start supplementing in the first week. I was producing so little milk that it just wasn't worth it to try and keep going so at six weeks we went all formula.

    I look at mine as mainly FF with BF supplement.

    I'm not at all surprised but in a few months it will change, and certainly by 6 mo it will change. But if you ask in a year there will still be a good number of people who are BFing.

    ^This is true. I hope to make it to at least 6 months with EBF, but hopefully a year.

    I am mostly BFing and gave up dairy and soy because of LO reflux. He still has terrible reflux. I am afraid they are going to have to put him on the expensive formula in order for him to get relief. I will do whatever it takes to have my son comfortable, but I have tried so hard to get my supply where it is now I would hate to have it all be for nothing.

    I have to add an ounce of formula with added rice starch to ds3's bottles to thicken them up (reflux) but otherwise they only get breast milk.

    There was no option for EP so I'm guessing EP = BF?

    If the milk is coming from your breast, you are breast feeding. If the baby is eating at the breast you are nursing.

    Sorry yah I would consider EP EBF

    This is me too. I breastfeed for DS's two or three middle of the night feedings and he gets formula all day.
