[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’m a schedule oriented person. It seems snowy breastfeed babies don’t through the night until much later than formula fed babies. The family and friends that breastfed has babies who could only fall asleep being nursed, never slept more than 2-3 hours at a time well past 1 year, never learned to self-soothe, etc. They were very clingy, high needs babies. Most were super cranky because they were never getting adequate sleep. The formula fed babies were great sleepers, on schedules, and always happy. I don’t want to breastfeed because I’m afraid that will lead my child to becoming clingy and never sleep. I’m not willing to co-sleep as my husband and I don’t think it’s safe at all. [/quote]

Nanny again - I know that all of dcum is going to pile on me now, but in my 20 years of experience this has also been my experience. Nannies love formula babies. I want to also repeat what I said earlier, that for working moms it’s good to do a combo of formula and breast, for your bond. When I’m with your child 10-12hrs a day, it’s nice that you can come home and have a bonding experience with your baby that is only your own. [/quote]

ugh, I never found breastfeeding bonding when I got home. Just one more thing I had to do on top of working and pumping and everything else. I get that it looks that way, but don’t assume. [/quote]

And I loved every second of it. Don’t assume. -np[/quote]

I was really happy when the nanny started giving a bottle right before I picked up. That way I could take my time getting situated back at home and baby was happy and full when I picked him up. [/quote]

I was really happy when I got to snuggle and reconnect for focused time with my baby after a day at work when I picked her up.[/quote]
