[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I'd nurse while you are home, but let your spouse give bottles of pumped milk or formula so he can share that responsibility.  And then just switch to formula when you return to work. [b] It doesn't have to be all or nothing. [/b] [/quote]

This!  I bf my kids longer than most, but I only worked PT from home.  If I had to have pumped in an office, there's no way I would have managed it.

How much leave are you taking OP?  I would do as pp suggested.  Nurse when you can, use formula when you can't.    And you don't have to make a decision right now.  See how nursing goes for you.  Fed is best, however it gets done.  [/quote]

On here it can seem like the choice is only EBF or 100% formula. Both of those are fine, but doing both is also common and can be great too. I was also surprised by how much I liked nursing after the first six weeks.

And there was PLENTY for DH to do. I nursed and he did just about everything else. [/quote]
