10 Things to Know About Bottlefeeding

EDIT: sorry that should read <1yr old babe bottle feed him/her self.

I think that you should be advocating skin-to-skin contact as much as possible when bottle feeding. I know that bottle feeding is the only option for some Moms, but as a registered nurse I have to say, as much of a hassle it may seem to bottle feed like you are breastfeeding it is extremely beneficial to the babe. And please Moms... don't let your >1yr baby feed him/her self there is a nurturing element to feeding breast/bottle which is wholly lost when this is done.

I strictly brest fed my first daughter..I couldnt even put the breast milk in a bottle because she wouldnt use the bottle...I plan on breast-feeding but also using a bottle of breast milk to feed my twins because I have to go back to work.

who am i or you for that matter to sit here and tell anyone that they should strictly breastfed/bottle feed their child i do not think that anyone should feel offended by the article in is only trying to better inform those who do bottle feed their baby and so what there is an advertisement for formula directly above the comment form big deal their are advertisements all over including on some breastfeeding websites.

i have been breastfeeding my baby boy from the get go he is now 4 months old . i supplement his night time feeding with a formula bottle due to the fact that it is not as easily digested as breast milk so he seems to sleeps longer. i love breastfeeding personally it makes me feel closer to my child but see nothing wrong with bottle feeding at all its like the say to each their own.
