What are the pros and cons of breastfeeding the baby vs pumping the milk and giving it to the baby in a bottle? Some say its easier when you have it in a bottle…. How each way affects your breasts?

My baby is 11 weeks old. If my Mom is babysitting her, and she runs out of breastmilk to give her, would it be OK to give her a bottle of formula ? How would baby react?

I have decided to breastfeed when our baby is born, but wanted to know if it was ok to also have formula milk on hand for emergencies.
I run my own shop and there may be times when i cannot breastfeed or express my milk into a bottle…
I’d appreciate any advice, thanks

I’m a first timer debating between breastfeeding/bottle feeding and would like to know how it is still possible for a breastfeeding mother to lose weight while being on a diet to produce milk?
I heard it can burn 500 calories a day to breastfeed, but I also heard you have to consume more calories in order to produce breastmilk?
Just an honest question, if anyone has experience with this I need help! = )

I am weening my baby off breast milk. He is on drinking formula every other feeding. Is it safe enough to keep nursing him and formula feeding him while I’m at work? He was a little constipated last night he had a hard time pooping. Should I be concerned?

I am going to Florida for vacation during the summer and I am just wondering if you could bring formula for a baby or milk on the plane. I can’t cancel the trip because this is like a once in a lifetime chance.

Hi, I just finished breastfeeding my daughter after one year. I had gradually cut her down to one feeding a day so I haven’t been making a lot of milk for a while. I previously breastfed my son a year but found out I was pregnant with my daughter a week after his first birthday and I never completely dried up. I think that happened because I was pregnant again. I am wondering if anyone else has went through this before and can tell me if their milk dried up completely at some point and time. I am 25 and it’s been 5 days since she last nursed. I haven’t experienced any fullness or pain. But if I put pressure on my breasts I will notice some milk still coming out. (I was pregnant with my son 9 months, breastfed a year, and found out I was a month along at his first birthday and was pregnant with my daughter 8 months and breastfed her a year.) Thanks for your help.

And how much? My son is now 14 months old – I planned to continue breastfeeding until he’s 18 months but would like to gradually introduce bottlefeeding. Should I go directly to 1+ formula, whole milk or start with 6-12 months formula? And how much should I give him since he seemed to be wanting a lot of bottle milk on top of his breastfeeding?

I have stopped breastfeeding from Feb. 08 and I am tryin to get him to breastfeed again. How can I produce milk again. What do I have to do?

My newborn daughter is now 10 months old and we want a second child, but to do that my wife has to stop breast feeding. Currently my daughter refuses to drink any kind of baby formula and we have tried a couple of types from Similac. Could it be the type of nipple on the bottle. I think there are two types, but I do not remeber which kind we tried using. Do you think it’s the bottle or the taste of the forumla she’s rejecting?
