This is a hard poll. When I was pregnant last time I knew I wanted to TRY and breast feed. I had no idea how much or how hard it could be. I was the first in my family so I couldn't just ask for help. So, what I am trying to say is I think I only breast feed because I had a dd that worked with me and was patient. Maybe this time around this baby may not be as easy to feed. So, I would have NO problem with bottle/formula feeding. I feel it should be a mom's personal choice, and that she should get the support and guidance she needs for that choice. Needless to say I will do what is best for my baby and me when the time comes.
ETA guess what I was trying to say has already been said, I didn't type fast enough ">
I second needing a combo feed or ss option. I plan to mostly BF (if DD and I have as much luck as DS and I did...because really, you never really know), but I also plan to FF some too. I have already purchased a canister of nb formula.
I agree that this question in poll form is in poor taste considering it's a big mom war topic and can be a source of hurt and/or shame for some moms. This board has shown great compassion on this topic in the past...a fed kid is a happy kid...so unless a bunch of randos come in and act like jack assess we should be good. Maybe.
Going to try my hardest to breast feed the babies when they come but I am aware it may not work or I might have to supplement. I personally was not offended by the poll question... But it's understandable that some were. Mommy wars and all...
Oh our state fair is beginning of August and county fair is next week!!! I may have to make the 20 and 60 minute drive to get some elephant ears! Cinnamon and sugar coated deliciousness. Mmmmmmmmmm.
I, too, was at church, patiently sitting through my last meeting when these pictures of elephant ears and funnel cakes start showing up. Can't get home fast enough. I'm so hungry but nothing I have at home sounds as good as elephant ears and funnel cakes now. Thanks guys.

FTM here and I am planning on breast feeding but if it doesn't pan out then I will still make sure my kid is fed.
