DH is really wanting me to do it for the baby. He has outlined the benefits and is keen I BF because he says my only real reason for wanting to not BF is better routine/sleep. He is correct.
To me, these BF studies aren't long term and show no real evidence about development etc. However, I do wonder about mouth and speech development? Midwife is adamant their jaws or something form better with BF.
I want to formula feed. I think (generally), children who are FF sleep better. I know there are rubbish sleepers full stop, but more often than not a baby will sleep better with formula providing they don't have something like colic etc. I did read a few studies on this. Will try and get the links
I think settling DS might be easier with formula too? BF is all very milk machine maker, on demand 24/7 etc.
I just don't fancy it. Is that selfish of me?
I'm more than happy to give him the colostrum for a few days
