Breastfed, Bottlefed Or Both?

[ceevstee]

Which do you prefer and why or why-not? Which of those in the Subject area were you? Also any ideas on how to stop breastfeeding your child and what's a good age, thank you!!! I was both but preferred breastmilk and my mom said it was not easy getting me to stop lol, once she got me off the breast I went to bottles and cups! My children are both bottle and breastfed, my boys were bottles but my baby girl is breastfed and she is about to turn 2 years old I want, no need her to be taken off of breast now, she never took bottles she refused, she drinks from her cups but never without her breast, this is my first time breast-feeding so I feel so bad whenever she cries and she will the entire night for hours if she doesn't get her breast so any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

      Either way "do not force feed your baby." Consult the baby's doctor.

I tried to breastfeed my oldest boy, but got so sick when i was and ended up back in the hospital. Was there almost 2 weeks, poor baby had to go a bottle. The only time i got to see him is when his daddy snuck him in in a grocery sack. Then he was allergic to some of the formulas and we almost lost him. But the lord was good and he made it.

I bottle fed. I was to scared to breast feed.

breast feeding is the way to go!!  I have 3 kids and breast fed all of them. They are Very Healthy kids and rarely, rarely sick.  Now having said all that I am the husband so its easy for me to say..

I have not had a baby but I will be breast feeding i just think it is a way better option healthier, less expensive, bonding I just think there is no question but I do understand I have not been there yet to make judgements but its just my view
