Re: Anyone Breastfeeding??
I'm the same way. I know it is beneficial for the babies, but I don't know if it will be too much stress on me, trying to feed them both.

Re: Anyone Breastfeeding??
No and I am soooo tired of defending myself in this. First off i have to go back to work 8 weeks after they are born, I never felt i would breastfeed (even if i was only having one), and I personally do not think i am doing anything "bad" to my children if I don't.
I watched that 20/20 show last night and was so angered by it. Why spend 2 milion dollars on advertising to tell me that because I am not breastfeeding it's like going out log rolling when i am 8 months pregnant. RIDICULOUS.
I know plenty of kids who are formula fed (and adults) that are prefectly healthy and happy...and i also know a few who were breastfed who have chronic ear/airway infections. Should i do a study and turn around with my findings telling moms who breastfeed they should formula feed.
It's my business, my DH is the only one who should have a comment on it...not the federal government or anyone else for that matter.
Okay vent over......just tired of all these people who think they have a right to tell me what I should do. Formula feeding is not harmful for your children for god sake.

I agree! And I find it so intrusive when complete strangers ask me if I plan to breastfeed...what the f is it their business? Its like me asking them the last time they had an "O"!

Re: Anyone Breastfeeding??
I tried to BF, but never produced enough milk so I pumped for them and gave them both for 9 months. I really wanted to BF exclusively, but my body didn't want to agree with me.

ALthough I only had one child at a time ( I have 2 children) I feel the same way. Its too bad people all over try to make you feel guilty.
