However, these days I mostly love it. I'm back at work in a rather demanding job, and I don't know how I would have made pumping work and still been able to do my job. Also, it is pretty awesome that DH can feed DD, so she's not 100% tied to me. It does make me a bit sad though b/c she's turning into such a daddy's girl. I think we would probably have a stronger connection if I was doing all of her feedings still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-love-formula#post-481460 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:22:51 +0000 DillonLion 481460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! Allowed us to keep breastfeeding honestly. Having formula ASA back up allowed me to relax and start to enjoy our breastfeeding relationship </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-love-formula#post-481379 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:01:20 +0000 GrapeCrush 481379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! same as @zippylef: he'd be dead </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-love-formula#post-481356 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:52:28 +0000 chopsuey 481356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I hate powder too. I've tried the ready to feed and it tastes so much better.<br /> I know DS doesn't care and will take the powder, but I can't get myself to give it to him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-love-formula#post-481351 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:50:53 +0000 autumnlove 481351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started supplementing with 1 formula bottle a day around 9 months because I wanted to stretch my frozen breastmilk for as long as possible. So convenient! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-love-formula#post-481350 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:50:52 +0000 Mrsbells 481350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont love it, but it does come in handy. I add it to her bottles of breastmilk. The premixed liquid she got at the hospital is way better than the powder. I hate mixing powder formula </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-love-formula#post-481348 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:50:40 +0000 matador84 481348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did as a supplement until we had the great puking incident of 2012 about 2 weeks ago! The smell of it makes me gag now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-love-formula#post-481346 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:49:59 +0000 loveisstrange 481346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell yeah. My daughter would be dead without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-love-formula#post-481343 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:48:36 +0000 chopsuey 481343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do!<br /> :)<br /> DD got breastmilk for about 15 months and DS gets mostly breastmilk too, but formula's such a lifesaver when I'm dead tired and too lazy to pump/nurse. </p>
