Moms with two kids!

okay. So I tried breast feeding with my first child.. And it was an epic fail. Kind of nervous, with attempting to breast feed with my second. Was it easier for moms that have two kids to breast feed the second child or simply give them formula?

I was only able to breastfeed my oldest for about 3 months when she refused the breast. Pumped for another month until my supply all but dried up and we had to switch to formula.

DD2 is almost 5 months and is still going strong

Although I think we'll have to supplement with formula for one bottle at daycare, she's only breastfed at home at night and on the weekends.

You can do it! With my second, I did a ton more research, as I really wanted BFing to work and there was a lot of information I didn't know and that's helped so much.

Good luck!

My sister (who is BIG on natural birth and everything) gave up on BF for LO#1 (no latch) but EBF LO#2 for over 6 mos. So far I have BF LO#2 5 mos longer than LO#1 and counting. Congrats on your pg! GL with baby!

I breastfed my first for 3-4 weeks. Hated it and had no support, finally I just gave up. My second I breastfed for 20 months.

I had a horrible time nursing my daughter. We ended up on formula. My son is now 11 weeks and a nursing champ! Every child is different. You could have a nursing champ too! Good luck!

Thank you all! It was good to hear others personal experience! I felt very stressed with my first child due to I couldn't get her to latch. I am hoping to have a better experience with child number 2!
