Breastfeeding Tip: Don't Use Formula!

Visitor Breastfeeding Tip:
I was lucky, I got great breastfeeding information even before L was born. The best one - throw out the formula samples you get at the hospital and don't have formula at home so you don't get tempted to use it! Nurse as often as possible and as often as the baby wants to and you'll do just fine.
I am so glad I listened to that advice - I am still breastfeeding my now almost three-year-old son :)
I have also become a breastfeeding advocate who wants to support as many other moms as possible to start and keep up breastfeeding with my blog, DagmarBleasdale.com.

Breastfeeding Tip: Don't Use Formula!
I would have loved to not use formula, however when I returned to work I was not able to keep up with pumping to satisfy my son. I do encourage people to BF but don't punish yourself if you have to use formula. We had to use formula to supplement and now that I'm a stay at home I haven't been able to "restock" I can honestly say that if you can do it and want to BF, do it for as long as you and your child want. I still hope to use less to no formula soon.
