Hello all, as a first time mom I have a few queries about feeding. My partner and I run our own little buisness from home and as a result we will be returning to work fairly quickly after birth, I'm talking 6-8 weeks after. Therefore we wanted to establish a workable feeding routine whereby baby isn't just stuck to me morning noon and night.
We figured breast and bottle feeding will be fine from birth, but we have had lots of horrified looks and judgments saying that we should do one or the other. When I ask why no one seems to have a reason why you should either breast or bottle feed. So is it just opinion or is there some kind of scientific/medical explanation?
If families have successfully bottle and breast fed, did you express or use formula? If you used formula, which one did you use? In my mind as long as baby is being fed and is putting on weight, does it matter how they are being fed?
TIA X
