According to research, less than one in a hundred mothers take the advice to breastfeed their child exclusively for the first six months. Do you breastfeed your child? How long did you feed your baby with breast milk before opting for the bottle? What are your reasons for your choices?

i fed my daughter until she was 2 and half shes never used a dummy or bottle she'd think it was funny to try rip my nipples off but it was worth it because no one else could be as close to her as me and no one else could give her the goodness that comes from me shes never been ill shes healthy and happy and very confident
i breast fed in public because my hungry baby comes first i got lots of rude comments but i had alot of people came upto me to look at my daughter and didnt realise i was feeding her till i told em so just do whats best for baby
yes in leeds they have few breast feeding facilities in the city centre for breast feeding mothers to use but occassionally i had to find a place to sit and feed when my baby had cried for feeding and feeding places are away.need facilities in all shoping centres.

How immature!
dee from herts- i have breastfed two sons both with teeth, both who bit me - best advice i can give is soon as they bite, take them off, finnish the feed every single time they bite. they will realise that biting interrupts their meal and they stop. also they tend to bite when they are at the end of a feed or not particualrly hungry, so knowing when to xpect it also helps.
TO DEE.. FRM HERT..MY YOUNGEST GOT 4 TEETH WEN SHE WAS 4MTHS OLD, I WAS VERY SORE, SHE UST TO PULL OF MY NIPPLE LIKE IT WA AN ELASTIC BAND, TO PUT AN hot water BOTTLE WRAPPED IN A TOWEL, on THEM, ALSO IF U LUCK IN BOOTS THERE IS SUM CREAM U CAN BUY, NIPPLE SHIELDS(BUT BABY DINT LIKE THEM)IT WILL GET BETTER, U FORGET THE BABY HAS TEETH.I FED HER FOR 18MTHS, DINT WEAN HER TILL SHE WA 6MTHS, SHE NEVA HAD A DUMMY R A BOTTLE, SHE IS NEVA POORLEY, NO COLIC, COLDS R EAR INFECTIonS. MY ELDEST IS 24, THINGS HAV NOT CHANGED FROM THEN, I THINK IF THEY STOPED LOOKING AT BREASTS AS SEXUAL TOYS,HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR THE FEMALE FORM, & BABIES. IM FAR FROM A PRUDE. I FED ALL MY BABIES IN PUBLIC, WHILE SHOPPING, IN THE park. I JUST LAUGHED AT FOLK WHO MOVED AWAY FROM ME, R WHO COMPLAINED. WHEN WOMEN R PLASTERED IN PAPERS, MAGS, TV, NAKED, BARING THERE ESSENTIALS. BUT THATS OK THO, ITS FOR THE MEN, BABIES DonT MATTER..THERE HEALTH, WELL BEING..BREASTS IS BEST.. FOR THE BABY..
