Breast or bottle?

[lovin]

I'm hoping i'm putting this in the right place of the thread. But i'm wondering if bottle or breast is better? So i'm wondering if botter feeding is easy since it has it pros and cons like pros it's easy and some come already pre-made, etc. Cons are if the baby likes it warm your out of luck on the road, You are stuck making bottle in the middle of the night for your baby, etc. And now breast. Pros you just rip your breast out of the nursing bra and you just hook the baby right up, easy and stress free travel, no messes to clean up, etc. Cons Your be sore, You might lose some of your milk, etc.


So i want to know which is better? Also what did you you do with your baby or your still with the bottle or breast?

So please let me know which is better.

You are asking a VERY loaded question. I like to have moms look at these sites and decide themselves. If you have questions specifically about breastfeeding, I'm happy to answer them in the breastfeeding forum. :)

Big-mouth-burgher i sent you a PM. If you read it i said evenything and what's in it is no lie.

Sorry sweetie, but I really could care less what you have to say. I think that you need to realize that we are all parents on here. You don't have a baby and you aren't pregnant. Why don't you hang out with kids your own age instead of people old enough to be you mother?

I do realize that i'm not a mom or even pregnant. But i thought long and hard about one person said to me before i left. she said "why didn't you tell us that you looking for info, cause we had a couple of teens that did the same thing and they quickly became our friends on here." Can't you believe me that i changed? Or you don't believe that?

Lovin, what you did was CREEPY and you managed to completely alienate people. Thanks to freaks like you every regular poster here became at the very least suspicious of every newcomer. Thanks for ruining a pretty decent community.

[big-mouth-burgher]

I don't even believe that you are a teen or even female for that matter. What you did over the summer was very much like something a pedophile would do. I don't want you getting your "kicks" from anyone on this site and I will do my best to make sure that every single person on here knows about you and what you did. I may be saving some poor baby from being abused by a CREEP! Now go away and leave us all alone.

abuse is bad i'm not going to abuse my kids i know that it is wrong and you guys think that i am a bad person i'm not. I'm a human i'm a 16 year old female looking for parenting INFO!

DOES I'VE CHANGE RING A BELL?????

i've said it in almost every post can't you believe me????

Lovin: If you read the parenting books (as you say you do), you will know that the experts agree that breast milk is best for the first year. As far as receiving this by breast or bottle, that is a personal preference, or a necessity if baby cannot suckle.

That being said, there are many woman who cannot offer breast milk for various reasons (low supply, will not work with lifestyle, baby cannot/will not suckle, etc). For me, my DD wouldn't suckle and I wasn't producing enough to pump and fullfill her needs so I supplemented for awhile and then switched to just formula when that became an overwhelming time committment.

This issue is a very personal decision that each mother must make based on her situation and her convictions. Each mother should look at the recommendations by the experts, her lifestyle, and take into account what her baby's needs are and then confidently make a choice...She may be critizised for her decision, but if she's made an educated decision on what's best for her situation, she'll ignore the criticism and enjoy her baby.

So, Breast milk is the ideal for an infant, but circumstances may make this something the mother cannot provide. In that case, she should confidently move forward with providing her child formula.

i was planing on breast feeding but then switch to bottle at about 6 months. then give up breast feeding but still do a little bit of nursing in there.

If it were only that simple. You truely do sound like a child.

[lovin]

I'm 16 how do i sound like a child?

[big-mouth-burgher]

You are a child!!!!!!!!!!

[lovin]

to me a child is some one who is in the ages between 5 to 10 and then pre-teen 11 to 12 and teenager 13 to 19. adults 20 and up

[big-mouth-burgher]

In the grown up world I live in you are either an adult (age 21) or a child (any one less than age 21). So you are indeed a child.

sorry but that's how i count.
