When I was pregnant with Baby Boy, I made a decision. It was a personal goal for me. I decided that Baby Boy would only have breast-milk and no formula. I can't really pinpoint the reason other than I just got the idea in my head and that's the way it was going to be. I breastfed Lil Man until he was 10 months old but he had formula here & there. And if you don't know, that stuff ain't cheap! I think I tallied up the cost of formula for LM, and it was around $700. My goal...... no formula for BB! If he had to have formula, it would only be the few samples I had been given from the hospital and pediatrician.
Baby Boy will be 10 months old come January 25th. I am proud to say up to this point...... no formula! Toot! Toot!! (That's me tooting my own horn! :) ) I did invest in a M.edala P.ump in Style B.reast-pump. And really, can not imagine accomplishing my goal without it.
And if you haven't seen Baby Boy..... he's one healthy little dude! At his 9 month wellness, weighted in at 22 lbs & length was 28".
I'll let you in on a little secret though...... I'm about over the breastfeeding / pumping deal. 2 more months though!! I can do it!!
