I have been BF for 6 months and currently socialise with other mums, majority of whom FF.
Have had a couple of comments lately that i should make the most of the special bonding i get whilst BF DS as i wont get the time to BF subsequent babies. they have said that they tried to BF subsequent babies but have switched to bottle early on as did not have the time. i have told them that i inted to BF future babies for at least 6 months as it is not fair on DS2/DD2 and have never had any problems BF.
Probably easy to call me naive at this stage but surely FF is more time consuming than BF? I mean i find BF so convinient. i guess the angle they are coming from is that other family members can help with bottle feeding?
just interested to hear what other mummys did. BTW am not planning on having another baby yet, i would just like to BF future babies as i think it is such an amazing thing to be able to do for so many reasons.
Thanks
