WWYD: Formula vs. BM for the weekends

CowboysWife04 · April 2010

For the weekend daytime feedings, should I give formula or frozen bm? We are still nursing morning/night, but DD takes formula fine too. I still have a couple hundred ounces frozen that gets sent to daycare for her bottles there, but I really want to give her some bm until she's at least 10 months old.

Decisions, decisions!

I wouldn't want to pay for formula if you have frozen breast milk. Can you not nurse during the day on the weekends? Less bottles to clean is always a plus in my book.

I would just give formula, but only because I had a oversupply, so I would be in a lot of pain come Monday if I nursed the whole weekend.

No, I'm not pumping during the day anymore so my body has regulated to only have milk (enough for a feeding anyway) in the evening/mornings.
