Formula. Breastfeeding just isn't for me. I know it. Even though I haven't done it before (this is my first baby), I just know that it's something I don't want to do.
I'm actually really worried that the hospital/nurses/etc won't accept this decision and try to force me to breastfeed.

I choose breastfeeding. It did not go well with DD for a number of reasons. I tried for a few weeks and pumped for 3 months...I will not do that again! Hopefully this time I will have more confidence. I'm also too cheap now to buy formula!

We will be Formula Feeding. We fed DD formula as well and it was just easier, knowing i will have to go back to work after 6 weeks.

So true!! If you co-sleep and breastfeed sometimes you're not even aware that your baby's feeding they just help themselves like a buffet. lol. My baby was a terrible sleeper, up every 45minues to an hour or so but I'm pretty sure I was the least tired mama on the block.

I voted BFing. I really enjoyed it with my DD. I loved that special bond that nobody else could get.

I am going to try to breastfeed this one. With my daughter and son I was unable to get them to latch on properly so I had to pump instead. I pumped for 8 months with both and it was a HUGE challenge. I know I will pump with this one too if I can't get him to latch. The guilt will consume me if I don't.

I chose formula because with DD, my milk never came in and that is a common problem in my family. My mom never got milk, and neither did her mom or my sister. So I am certain with this one, I won't get it either. If I do, then I'll BF, but chances are slim...

I'll be breastfeeding if at all possible. If he comes early I'll pump and feed breastmilk still.

I will definitely BF unless there is a reason for me not to. I BF'd for 5 months with my eldest daughter, but I also went back to work when she was 3 months and was under a lot of stress so my milk dried up, with my youngest I BF'd for about 11 months, and I still have milk, which is coming in a lot more now, lol. I usually have a lot of milk, so I see no reason not to BF
