Poll:Would you do it again - re:BF, FF, both.

Most of us are about 6 months in and I was wondering if you were EBF, EFF, or both, would you choose to do the same with your next baby?  Or if this is your second, did you do something different with this one?  Why?

I would def. EBF but  I was fortunate to have no major issues. I don't have an issue with FFing either and would do it if my next child had an issue (I've had friends who had no issues with one kid, then big problems with the next). It would also

I would absolutely EBF again. I love it, she loves it. I am proud that every bit of her growth is attributed to my body. I'm actually sad about introducing complimentary foods in 2.5 weeks.

My LO is 5 1/2 months and he has been EBF.  While I am proud that I made it this long, it has been hard.  Pumping at work is tough, trying to pump enough BF is stressful, and when not working, I feel like I'm attached to his feeding schedule,

I am proud we made it and she is exclusively fed BM today.., but no I would not repeat the first month where I had to exclusively pump until she was able to latch properly. I had no help at home and our attempt latch / bottle feed / get her settled / pump

I FF from the beginning and would def do it again.  I loved that my DH was able to give the first bottle in the hospital and they could bond that way.  The only thing I would do differently would be to give Up & Up formula sooner- we switche

At 4 weeks I became an EFF. I had sooo many major issues that formula was the only option. I would try to BF again.

She was both FF and BF for the first few weeks, then I switched to FF only. I didn't really care for breastfeeding, and assuming I won't magically care for it in the future, I see the same thing happening again.

I would try to ebf.  I love the bonding you get while bf.  My brothers and I were ebf so I never thought I would.  I just hope I don't have as many issues next time.

I would try to breasfeed again.  The first ten weeks were hell -- I cried through almost every feeding and dreaded him waking up because it meant I would have to feed him again or pumped my right boob when the pain was too intense -- but we are now a

I would definitely EBF again. And again, and again

DS is only 5 months right now, and I EBF tho we started him on little bit of solids a few weeks ago.

I didn't have major "early" issues with BF (eg, cracked nipples, tongue tie, poor latch etc), however, I had oversupply for a long time so DS was

I had some issues with breastfeeding, really regret giving up so I definitely want to try harder next time. We'll see I guess. Although I was much less stressed after I gave up, so I don't know. Hopefully the next one doesn't have issues latching.

I ebf'ed both boys. The 2nd time was so much easier. I don't plan on having more kids but if I did I would ebf again.

twofishes1984

am ebfing... took a lot of work to get here. I wish it had gone more smoothly to begin with, but I would do it again with a second if I was going to have one. why? breastfeeding is the best nutrition a baby can get (most of the time, there are some reason

clrgrdfrk

I EP and have not regretted it once. If we do end up having another, I would try harder to bf since ep-ing takes up so much time at the beginning.

I EBF DS until seven months and would have gone longer but my supply dipped and I didn't have the knowledge or support I have now.  I am EBFing DD now and while its been much harder than with DS I have no intensions of weaning her before she's rea

We EBF and I definitely plan on doing it again if we get pregnant with number two.  I feel like this time around was so very hard because I literally learned as I went along.  Now that I have been through it once before, I am more comfortable wi

I EBF DD1 until she self weaned.  It was very rough the first couple months but I am glad I stuck it out and we made it 18 months.  This time around with DD2 I felt like I knew what to expect and it wasn't nearly as rough in the beginn

I will definitely at least attempt EBF with my next.  This time around, I very fortunately had little to no issues with breastfeeding, but I know that can change dramatically with each little one.

We FF.  I have no idea what I'll do for the next one.  It was so hard emotionally to hear Alice scream in hunger when I couldn't feed her, but I'd like to try.  I guess we'll cross that bridge when (or if) we get there.

cmbrown

I EBF and pump at work.  The first 2 months were hell.  I had an over supply, cracked nipples, clogged ducts, it was awful.  I would cry when I'd nurse him.  With DD1, I didn't try as hard, I gave up bc she had latching issues.  I

RayT1

I would love to EBF again!  I love breast feeding, but with the next one I will definitely introduce pumped bottles sooner because DS in 6 months and will not take a bottle...it's like I'm trying to torture him when I try giving him one. &n

AbuDhabiMommy

Breast feeding seemed easier this time around although there were a few more complications in the beginning...
I love nursing as much as I loathe pumping.
