It's a personal choice. I have heard all the arguments for breastfeeding, including the " they gain initial immunities from you" speech. While there is "incremental" evidence of increased immunity for breatfeeding, formula makers have included all necessary vitamins, mineral, trace elements, etc.
Personally, I breastfed all 3, but the last child could not digest proteins and I had to stop early.
NOTE to Cuppie: You may need to switch formula. Find something with easily digestible proteins and the spitting up may go away.
BTW, breast-feeding does cause havoc with those funbags!!! They may over-inflate; deflate; cracked nips; and drying those bad boys up once you are done breast-feeding is a nightmare!!!!
Although, it turns out my hubby loved me breast-feeding! He would often take one breast and try to aim it at various targets, often with great success... ( I kid you not)..
Do I regret breast-feeding? No. It's an incredible feeling to feed your child from your own body. I just hate ordering bras in a 42 Long...
