Before I post this, I don't want this to turn into yet another BF/FF debate. This isn't my intention whatsoever, I want to know if IABU or not.
I've made the decision to FF DD when she arrives in Jan. I EBF DS and he will be just short of two when she arrives.
I've chosen to FF because of ease and convienience but I can't help but feel that IABU. It's been on my mind since DH and I discussed it a few months ago, and although he backs me in whatever decision I make, I feel guilty because I'm doing it for my own ease.
When I breastfed DS, I remember the feeds lasting for half hour/40 minutes some days and I can't do that when she arrives because it's not fair on my son. I do want to breastfeed again as my experience of it was a very positive one, but I can't for the life of me work out how I fit it around DS - especially if we're out and about.
Even though I'll have family around initially to help, they live abroad so I'm pretty much on my own in the day when they go back.
So, AIBU and does anyone have any advice on how it might work if I was to BF with a toddler around?
