I'm definately breastfeeding! It was never an option for me not to! I have these breast which will produce one of the most precious gift I can give to my baby girl. No formula can ever reproduce what are bodies make for our little ones. I've been so determined that no one's said anything they just support my decision. I've read many books and I feel very prepared for whats to come.

I know there are lots of benefits when it comes to breastfeeding; including the speeding process of weight loss. However, I plan on going to work asap after birth, I also don't plan on continueing consumption of all the things I needed to keep baby healthy, such as milk & juice! (I hate them both!), If u want to breastfeed, don't u need to continue eating as though you were pregnant, to give ur baby proper nurishment? Also, if you get the slightest cold, or anything for that matter, you're likely to pass it on to your baby. I want to avoid sending my baby to the hospital for little things like.

I have decided to breastfeed. I got lots of advice, and let downs on it though, Many family members say that I wont last long. I want to go as long as I can though because I know that it is very healthy for the baby, and beneficial for myself.

I plan to bottle feed. I want my baby to have a chance to bond with both of her parents. I just couldn't rob my husband of that joy.

I would like to breast feed but am scared. I'm a big chicken when it comes to pain, but I guess if I get through this labor and delivery (from what I hear and see it's very painful most of the time:) maybe i'll think twice.
