My bad. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusively-breastfeeding#post-195863 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 04:33:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 195863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I EBF with pumping for the first 6 months. Now that she eats solids she is still exclusively on breast milk for her milk but obviously gets other food so I'm not sure what to call it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusively-breastfeeding#post-195831 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 23:28:32 +0000 cyneswith 195831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EBF = Food comes exclusively from a human breast, whether the delivery method is bottle, boob... or even donor milk (though I imagine that's impossible financially.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusively-breastfeeding#post-195823 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 23:17:14 +0000 skibobrown 195823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with your definition. EBF means baby only drinks breast milk... even if it comes from a bottle. I wish I was able to EBF, but sadly it was not meant to be this time :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusively-breastfeeding#post-195821 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 23:14:03 +0000 sandy 195821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusively-breastfeeding#post-195546 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 17:46:08 +0000 autumnlove 195546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: yup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusively-breastfeeding#post-195539 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 17:39:16 +0000 mrsjazz 195539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>exclusive breastfeeding is the baby getting breast milk only, whether that's via the boob or the bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusively-breastfeeding#post-195522 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 17:29:16 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 195522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are EBF! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusively-breastfeeding#post-195501 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 17:18:00 +0000 Mrsbells 195501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought that EBF meant no bottles or pumping. So when I was pumping I would say I breast feed AND pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusively-breastfeeding#post-195477 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 16:58:07 +0000 brownie 195477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exclusively breastfed means whatever you want it to for the most part. Most people agree that it means no formula. I consider that we exclusively breastfed and my son got pumped milk after I went to work. So, you are doing great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusively-breastfeeding#post-195476 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 16:57:55 +0000 winniebee 195476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto to what @Rubies said! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusively-breastfeeding#post-195475 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 16:57:04 +0000 Rubies 195475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me, EBF means that the baby only drinks breastmilk - boob, bottle, whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exclusively-breastfeeding#post-195473 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 16:55:04 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 195473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering what the exact definition of exclusively breastfeeding is......</p> <p>Does it mean that you do not pump or feed your LO pumped milk, you only offer breast? In my mind, if a baby is only given breastmilk, even if it is from a bottle every time, he is "exclusively breastfed."</p> <p>I give may LO one bottle of pumped milk a day....does this mean I do not exclusively breastfeed? </p>
