BF, FF or CF?

[Sprinklesjelly]

No judgement just generally interested.

Do you breastfeed, formula feed or combi feed and what are your reasons for doing so?

Breastfeed. It’s better for baby, that’s not judging mums who chose to formula feed BTW, but you asked for reasons. Also, I find it much more convenient. That being said, I understand why lots of women don’t BF. The first 6 weeks or so are intense and there’s also a real lack of education and support out there.

Breastfeed. Best for baby, especially as he has a dairy allergy. Now at 9 months, it's also just extremely convenient.

I have zero help (other than a wonderful DH, who works) or relatives around. If I had to give formula, I'd be giving 90% of the bottles and doing 90% of settling anyway. Sure, dad could give formula in the evening but past the early days of severe sleep deprivation, that's really not all that helpful in the grand scheme of things.

And once they're on solids, breastfeeding becomes less of a mammoth task.
