I have combined BF with FF for various reasons since my DS was born. I did not want to FF at all, but that's the way it's ended up.

There are some really good posts in this thread. It's so true that no matter what you do, someone will see fit to judge you, and tell you that you're doing the wrong thing for your baby. I cop it all the time for continuing to BF, have really since DS was past 6 months. I'm like Liz, I like whatever is easiest, cheapest and gets me the most sleep LOL! So yeah, I keep BFing. I love that it's good for him, and that he enjoys it. On the other hand I loathe washing up the bottles, it is my most hated job. I'm not saying bottles are bad, obviously some get by with no problems but there hasn't been a day since DS was born that I didn't wish to get rid of them and exclusively BF. And when he was little I would have loved to be able to go out without taking along bottles and formula, and worrying about getting caught without a feed for him.

As for BFing being expensive and needing all of those things, yes, you might need some cream etc but that's all in the early days. Once things have settled down, BFing should cost you nothing extra. And I know that FF doesn't take up all of your day, but it does take more time (chores-wise) than BFing, and if you have a baby like mine was, you need to make the most of every waking moment LOL!
