mommee2b · October 2008

Just out of curiosity... I tried with my 1st daughter and it was pure and utter hell!!!!!!

adamwife · October 2008

almostabuck · October 2008

Not me. I love the idea of it, but my parts don't work. Sad

bdanderson77 · October 2008

I hope to!

collyflower · October 2008

I really want to and am going to try as hard as possible with it but am not opposed to formula if it doesn't work out - I was a formula-fed baby and I think I'm pretty fantastic Stick out tongue

mrspaul07 · October 2008

I am going to try.

JoeysLady · October 2008

I am too. ?I'm in the process of reading 'So that's what they're for'.

jerimbato · October 2008

I am planning on it.

sparkman-to-be · October 2008

jeng329 · October 2008

I'm planning on it but I have friends who say they wanted to but baby didn't or they couldn't. ??

mommee2b · October 2008

Have you breastfed previous children? Having such a bad experience with my first child I am scared to death to even try. My milk didnt come in until almost a week after her birth, she wouldnt latch, and then I got a breat infection causing me to just give up. I know its best for the baby but I am so torn between the pain and the urge to do whats best for baby.

HBT · October 2008

I am going to try really hard! But I have realistic expectations after watching my sisters go through it.

kiwi0427 · October 2008

I did the 1st time around....its hard at first and sometimes tiring but its worth it. I'm going to do it again!

Runnerwife · October 2008

I am.

Croco · October 2008

I BFed my son for about 7 months and had to wean to go on medication. I had it pretty easy, because he took right to it. I had some pain in the first few weeks, but only when he latched. I did get thrush once, which was a pain, but we got it taken care of and it didn't come back.

This child could be completely different. I'd give it a try at least. Smile

Pumpkin111 · October 2008

I'm planning on it, even though I've heard its hard. I talked to my Mom about how I was nervous about my baby girl having allergies to my kitties.. She told me that's another benefit of breast feeding... the baby will get the same antibodies that I have. I've heard to really try to do it for at least 2 weeks if you can.

mommee2b · October 2008

How were the "girls" after breastfeeding?

kiliwicket · October 2008

I am for sure.... again.

adamwife · October 2008

Deflated and flat/saggy.

jnealet · October 2008

I'm planning on it and hope it works out for me.

JennInJune2004 · October 2008

I am. I BF DS for nine months and it was a great experience. I hope it goes as smoothly this time around.

karenmarie20 · October 2008

I'm going to try...

mrs.lizzieb · October 2008

Definitely gonna try, and hoping to do it for at least 6 months.

Gabe&Dana · October 2008

I am going to try! I really want to make it work.

kiliwicket · October 2008

the girls are, (in my case anyways), a little smaller and not quite as full afterwards. But honestly, I so don't care what the girls are like after BFing. DH is still happy and my son has been sick twice in his entire life and never bad enough to need a prescription.

mommee2b · October 2008

I guess I am just going to be one of those horrible moms that doesnt. Sad

MrsAlliP · October 2008

I really want to. I'm going to try to get as much support as I need beforehand and after she's born so I can hopefully make it through the very rough beginning weeks and hope it gets easier.

trixiebelden · October 2008

I didn't so well with my first, but I plan on trying again. I did not find FFing to be that great.

vlahop · October 2008

I am. I know it is going to be very hard, but I am going to give it a go.

houndbaby · October 2008

i am going to try

newmom2b · October 2008

I don't plan on it this time. I did for 6 months with my DS.

skaplan000 · October 2008

I will pump. If I couldnt get up in the middle of the night DH could feed DS, I was able to have babysitters if needed, and I was able to see how much my little one was eating which was great because he was early and had Jaundice so I had to track how much he was eating. It doesnt matter how baby is getting breastmilk as long as he/she gets it!

Temp34783000004059 · October 2008

I BF my daughter for almost 11 months, despite lots and lots of issues. I plan to BF this baby, hopefully for as long if not longer.

My boobs look basically the same as before I got pregnant with #1.

SwissPrincessBride · October 2008

i plan on giving it my best shot. Fortunately my insurance hooks me up with home visits from a lactation nurse to help me along.

macchiatto · October 2008

I'll definitely try! I'm hoping to do it for 6-9 months; I'll need to go back on my MS drug before *too* long but I really hope to give the babies a good start.

erinloveschris · October 2008

I hope to breastfeed for the entire first year!! Hopefully, I will have better luck than my mom ever did!!

care22 · October 2008

It didnt' work out the first time with DD. I actually enjoyed FF much more...if that tells you how much I hated it. I've been told that if you have a bad experience with BF tht it kind of stick with you. SO with this one I told my DH I'm giving it 10 days and if I don't work again, that's it. I'm not going through all the trauma we did for a month. To be honest, I love the freedome of FF. But I know it's not the best. Luckily DD doesnt' seem to be any worse off from it.
