Breast Feed or Formula?

This can be a huge deal to some people. It was for me because I felt that babies are meant to breast feed. I honestly believe it's like striking gold for babies! It's the best nutrition you can give your child and not only that, but you don't have to clean or warm up bottles and it's FREE! To me it was a no brainer, but I know some people who decided it was best for them to formula feed and I believe that whatever the mother feels comfortable doing they should do. Breast feeding is almost bitter-sweet. It's sweet because it's the best thing you can give your baby and it's so easy (once you get used to it) but bitter because "I'm her bitch" haha. Now before some of you get offended by that phrase...hear my side of it. I say this proudly with my head up high..but seriously there have been times where I been out shopping and I got to stop what I'm doing go out to my car and feed the little monkey or have purposely left 2 hours before my hair appointment in order to get there 20 minutes before my appointment so that I can feed her in the car right before I go in. That's why I say it, I mean it's the truth and I'm sure there is a better way of phrasing that, but I like that phrase :). Any way, I plan on breast feeding her till she is a year old. Yes, it's a long time but I know it's best for her and that's more important to me. Even if I am sacrificing losing those last 10 lbs or my boobs not being as perky as they used to be..so be it. I'm willing to deal with that.
