I'm Pregnant! {Now What Do I Do?} - Part 4

Hi Everyone!

Today i'm continuing on with my I'm Pregnant! Now What? series.. (In case you've missed my other posts, you can check them out HERE --------> Part 1 , Part 2, and Part 3. <----------- br="" nbsp=""> Today we will talk about making the choice between Breastfeeding and Formula Feeding.

Remember there is no wrong or right choice, don't ever let anyone make you feel bad for doing what YOU feel is right for YOUR baby!

Breastfeeding:

Pros - 1.) It's free!
          2.) Not much work involved (meaning, there is nothing to prepare)
          3.) Burns Calories
          4.) Has lot's of good vitamins in it for baby (especially colostrum)

Cons - 1.) You have to do all the feedings (unless you pump & then bottle feed)



Formula Feeding:

Pros - 1.) Anyone can feed baby.

Cons - 1.) Expensive
           2.) More work involved (meaning, lots of bottles to make)


Those are just some of the things on my personal pro/con list. Now lets take a look at what supplies you will need for whichever path of feeding you pick.


Breastfeeding Supplies List:

Nipple Cream
Nursing Pads
Nursing Bras
Pump (optional)
Bottles (optional)


Formula Feeding Supplies List:

Bottles
Formula
Nipples


That's all i can think of right now, anything else you would add to either list?
