[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two very successful kids were not breastfed.  It was my choice.  I did not want to be tied down so much[b] and had to return to work. [/b] You have to decide for yourself.  It was something I had zero interest in.  No regrets.[/quote] I think everyone woman should make the choice that is best for them and their family.  But, I do want to comment on the bolded.  I understand some work circumstances might make pumping at work impossible, but working women can maintain breastfeeding.   When I  went back to work, full time out of the house, I continued breastfeeding at home, and in daycare my baby took bottles of pumped breastmilk until he was 1 yo. I also know some women who switched to formula when they returned to work and keep breastfeeding at home. I just don't want anyone thinking it has to be one or the other, doing both is possible.[/quote]

Actually, I think pumping at work is a pretty heavy burden on mothers and should not in any way be considered the default. It's probably better all in all to just go to formula.  Pumping at work really is a burden and an interruption. [/quote]
