[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've bf both my kids for 4.5 years combined (still going with the second). The beginning is always tough, especially so with my first who had tongue tie, but it gets so much easier later when everyone is settled in. No mixing formula, warming formula/milk, washing bottles (unless you want to)...you just whip out your boob, relax for 20/30 min and put it away when done. [/quote]

Most women cannot just "whip out your boob" every 20-30 minutes. That's for rich women. I took off 6 weeks after my DS was born and went back to teaching. I only had a 30-minute lunch break and never pumped enough milk during the day. [/quote]

I pumped when/what I could and supplemented with formula. NBD. I saw pumping as making it possible to BF when we were in person, and anything else that came out to put in bottles were a bonus.

Some people act like it’s so danged black and white. It’s not. If I was with my babies,  they were on the boob. If not, bottle. Best of both worlds. [/quote]
