[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottle fed from day 1

No regrets, zero guilt, sooo much easier.

Bottles can be  washed in the dishwasher. If you want you can get a microwave sterilizer but it’s not necessary.

Premixed formula is available so open can, empty into bottle. Or powder - dump a scoop, add water, shake, heating it is unnecessary.

You don't get to say "soo much easier" because you did one way.

I both breastfed and formula fed my daughters. I found breastfeeding to be much easier and more enjoyable, but I am really glad we mixed in formula/bottle feeding so that DH and others could help, and so that my transition back to work was easier.

Pumping was NBD for me, but if it had been problematic, I would have just stopped. But to me, nothing was easier than simply breastfeeding. No prep work, no cleanup, and a wonderful rush of oxytocin and snuggles! (And no, put down your sword, I'm not saying that formula or bottle feeding isn't also a snuggly great way to bond. FOR ME, MY EXPERIENCE was that breastfeeding was the most profound bonding moments I had with both of my infants.) [/quote]

You keep acting like people are about to attack you (if you are the same poster from the last page who was emphatic about MY EXPERIENCE while simultaneously downplaying other's experiences) but you are the one doing the preemptive attacking.

Ask yourself this, do you harbor no bad thoughts in your heart towards women who choose to formula feed without trying breastfeeding? If the answer is no, then honestly you should find a different thread. [/quote]
