I bf lo1 for over a year including pumping at work until she was a year. Idk if I can do it again :/ did anyone choose to use formula with lo2? Or switch to formula when you went back to work?

Me. I breastfed my daughter for about 7 months then switched to formula after going back to work bc I wasn't pumping enough for her. I never really liked BFing and it added to my PPD. So when DS was...

I am BFing LO2 but I did not want any part of it at all when I was pregnant. I had a rough time with #1 and a long list of things I did not intend to deal with a second time around. So far things are...

I am pregnant with lo2 and dreading breastfeeding. I had a really tough time with lo1, but the fact that I had a great supply and managed to do it for 7 months last time makes me feel like I have to...

I only have one LO, but I just wanted to say that choosing to FF from the beginning is a PERFECTLY acceptable choice. You don't have to try BFing if you don't want to. After her inability to BF, I FF...

With the prevalence of food allergies (and sensitivities) these days, I'd be nervous to make this choice, because I know how hard it can be to find a formula that works for your baby. If baby has...

I did! Killed myself EPing for LO1. Had blisters, etc., for the whole year. When it looked like LO2 couldn't latch and the consultant recommended pumping or formula, I chose formula. I was seriously so...

I am a big fan of whatever works for mama and baby, and I know this isn't what you asked, but FWIW I had a hard time nursing the first time and an easy time the second. So it might not be as hard if...

I also bf and EP'ed for LO1 for over a year but questioning what I'm gonna do when lo2 gets here. I just don't know where I would find the time and energy to entertain and care for both of them, work,...

@MrsSRS: Same here. I would never make a choice beforehand because each child is SO different. My first caused me all kinds of pain and I had clogs and bleeding and it never worked out well. I got...

Mamasig on "Did anyone bf #1 but formula feed #2?"

I tried breastfeeding DS1 and DS2 and only lasted a few weeks. I'll be honest. I don't like breastfeeding and didn't enjoy it at all. I'm pregnant with #3 and will likely just go straight to formula....

ILoveLettie on "Did anyone bf #1 but formula feed #2?"

We're not planning on having a second child, but if I did, I would formula feed from the start. I really disliked breastfeeding, it stressed me out, I had low supply, daughter was an easily distracted...

Thank you for this question and comments. I'm going back to week around 6.5 months and i feel tremendous guilt because I will be doing a combo of breast milk and formula till my freezer stash runs out...

MrsSRS on "Did anyone bf #1 but formula feed #2?"

@gotkimchi: for sure! I remember thinking that we didn't need much for LO2 because we still had all of LO'S stuff, but I didn't feel relaxed and ready until I had diapers and a package of ready to feed...

TiredmommaMD on "Did anyone bf #1 but formula feed #2?"

My first was EBF. We went for 13 months, but working and pumping was so hard. It was such a huge commitment. LO2 is 3 months and we are EBFing but I don't know if I can make it a year- I feel like the...

photojane on "Did anyone bf #1 but formula feed #2?"

@gotkimchi: I'm not sure why anyone would say differently, but formula feeding is not hard. It certainly was not exhausting for me. In fact, since she didn't feed on demand like a lot of BF babies, we...

@TiredmommaMD: I totally feel the same way you do that it's not fair that LO1 got breastmilk exclusively for 1year+ so I should do the same with LO2.

Me3 on "Did anyone bf #1 but formula feed #2?"

@tiredmommy and @ILUVBOBA637 I totally understand that feeling. I definitely initially felt guilty for not trying as hard to make bfing work for LO2 as I did for LO1. However, bfing LO1 made me really...

@iluvboba637: @TiredmommaMD: this is how I feel too! Like I don't want to but maybe I should @photojane: my first bf ALL. THE. TIME. So selfishly if formula helped this one sleep I would be very happy
