  • I used formula with all 3 of my girls. They turned out great. Dont ever fell bad if thats what u choose to do. Lots of people and doctors tried to make me feel bad about not breast feeding but i knew it just wasnt for me.

    Im on formula completely. I did breastfeed and use formula for the first month but then I had to get on medications that bf is not safe for. Sooo now we're on formula (simulac) and its been working great...pretty expensive stuff' but its made with all the vitamins and minerals a baby needs to grow. Which pretty much all and every formula does so just pick the formula that works best. My baby absolutely hates the sensitive stomach one. She just screams with it..i guess its hurts her stomach because as soon as we go back to the blue top one shes fine...havent tried the target brands yet..so that's why you should try them to see what's best
  • This is my 4th and all of my kids were formula fed. My other 3 are perfectly healthy. They are all very smart and grew like little weeds!
  • I'm strictly formula feeding Jaden.
  • I flip flopped on breastfeeding last time, I didn't want to do it, but felt like I should and eventually gave in to the peer pressure and breast fed. I lasted less than 3 days and I knew it just wasn't for us. This time, I will just be formula feeding from the start!
  • I did formula with my first born. I'm attempting to bf with this one for three months then do formula.

  • Thank you for starting this thread!
  • I tried to bf but I dont produce milk, so all formula for mine.
  • I formula fed from the start with my first and he's a perfectly healthy 6 year old. I plan to do the same this time too. Breastfeeding just isn't for me.
  • Thank u ladies for commenting, it just seems that everyone I talk to breastfeed, or are going to breastfeed. But the more I think about it, the more I think its not for me. And I was starting to feel a little pressured into Breastfeeding, so its great knowing there are other moms like me who are just doing formula :)

    @shanIam your welcome
  • I formula fed all 5 of mine... will do the same with this one. Some of them took soy, my daughter took similac alimentum for her acid reflux... they are all healthy and smart as can be.. I agree don't let anyone make you feel bad for doing what works for you and your baby.
  • I'm doing strictly formula also :)
  • I did both with my first two....more BF with the first than formula. More formula with the second the BF....we will see how this plays out. I produced a lot more with the first then I did with the second. So I will probably try both and if I don't produce enough to keep up...switch to formula.
  • My daughter never latched on so I sarted pumpin she dont like it so now im givin her formla n she loves it
  • I'm planning on exclusively breastfeeding but I hate how involved and judgemental other people feel the need to get with what a woman does and how she uses her own body. From public bfing to no bfing it shouldnt freaking matter to anyone not intimately involved with your boobs how you choose to use them.
    Ok 4am insomniac rant over
  • Thats your choice I do however day don't knock it til you try it lol. I'm a pretty big breast nazi lol, but don't think formula feeding mom's are bad. I do suggest don't switch it around until your doctor says so because that can upset the babies stomach. Start worth one and stick with it. Good luck hun.
