As a b/f mum - I still struggled to lose weight inbetween bubs anyway, that's the way my body works boooohooooo ....
Also, IMO each b/f relationship is different with each child. My sister FF both her kids from a week old and although we had different views, I could see how heartbreakingit was for her to keep trying to B/F - lots of things contributed. SO instead I just shut-up and supported her - which is what good friends/family should do!
As long as YOU are comfortable with the decision you make, try not to weigh in on what other people say.
Wishing you sooo much good luck for the coming weeks and can't wait to see your BA!
Leigh- Your story sounds very similar to my Mum's. She tried bfing me from birth but had a low supply and we had all sorts of dramas. Long story short, she ended up bottlefeeding me from 2 weeks and she thinks it was the best thing she has ever done. I do have ezcema and hayfever but who knows if that has anything to do with her not breastfeeding me. My Mum bottlefed my 2 younger brothers from birth and they are the healthiest, happiest kids.
It is completely up to you hun and noone but you can make this decision. You need to do what you are comfortable with. Make sure you take your bottles and formula to hospital so you're all prepared. You never know you may change your mind once there. Whatever decision you make will be the right one for you.
