[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would try keep it up for at least three months and after that don't worry about it.

A friend of mine had to go back to work after three months of maternity leave and was trying to decide whether to pump or formula feed once she had to go back to work. A member of her husband's family who was the head of the American pediatrics association or whatever it's called told her it was totally fine to stop pumping and formula feed. She thought it was more important that my friend choose whatever was right for her, the mom, than worry about pumping after three months of breastfeeding.

If it bothers you a lot, I think it's fine to stop now.[/quote]

There’s all kinds of studies with different outcomes.  Probably that’s why pediatricians say either is fine.  I didn’t breastfeed because I was in and out of the house so much and went back to work part time at three weeks.  I had my husband and mother helping me

As teens neither have needed antibiotics and have no health problems.   I think it’s nice if you can do it but the much more important issue is the baby getting enough calories and nutrients. [/quote]
