[quote=Anonymous]Not worth it. It’s basically the worst of both worlds. You have all the inconvenience of washing bottles and needing to pack a bottle bag while on the go without the convenience of just mixing up formula (I mean a huge perk of formula that it’s easily ready and even your DH can be in charge of feedings). But then you also have all the stress of worrying about your supply and being solely responsible for food production without the benefit of just being able to just whip out a boob on demand. One of the things I loved most about EBF my second kid was that I could just grab the diaper changing pad and my nursing cover and go. No worrying about whether I packed enough bottles for our outings. Also, he didn’t need a pacifier because I could use nurse to calm him.

With my first, there were latch issues and I spent 4 months miserably pumping, which in retrospect made the transition to motherhood much harder. I only BF my second because he was a BF champ. But if I had dealt with latch issues the second time I would have gone to formula right away with zero guilt.[/quote]
