[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I have decided to pump until I go back to work until I go back to work. I will go back at 4 months and decide then if I want to still pump. We are supplementing with formula. The pumping hasn’t been that bad and the baby is eating well from the bottle. [/quote]

This sounds like a good plan. You’ll have to taper off so you don’t get mastitis. By the time you wind down, your baby will be beginning solids. Then you just have a few more months of formula. Our pediatrician was okay with us introducing cow’s milk around 10-11 months at which point my kids were losing interest in milk altogether and were more interested in real foods. I was excited to drop the bottle ASAP by 1 year old. I promise this time will pass more quickly than you realize and you’ll wonder why you spent so much time fretting over BM vs formula![/quote]

OP here. We will not be feeding solids until 6 months. [/quote]

We fed solids earlier.  No need to be fixed at 6 months unless you want to.[/quote]
