How do you feed your babies?

I'm trying to get a feel for how many twin/triplet moms breastfeed, use formula, pump, etc. ?Rough percentages. ?(I'm trying to put a poll in this post but am probably going to screw it up.)

?

[poll]?

Re: How do you feed your babies?

  • A lot of MoMs (and moms period) do different things at different ages--e.g. they might EBF the first month, then supplement for a few months, then switch to all formula, etc., or a ton of different scenarios. Is there a particular age range you're interested in getting stats on? If I BFed and supplemented the first month but have EFFed since then, which should I vote for?

    same here...sort of. I voted for just formula, but for the first 3 weeks, I pumped and supplemented with formula until my suppy ran out. AFter that my babies have been given just formula.

  • i voted BF & pump because I am working full time and I can't be there all day to EBF which is what I do on weekend and days off.

    I voted breastfeeding and formula, but in reality I BF, pump, and use formula (they are probably only about a quarter breast milk because of supply issues).
