The thought of nursing/pumping/supplementing/who knows what for #2 is really deterring me from having another. I'd love to just go straight to formula feeding for the next one but I know breastmilk is the best thing I can give number two if I can figure out a way to make it happen, even if that means great sacrifice.

I think what I'm most nervous about is having that awful mommy guilt again when it doesn't work out. I keep telling myself I won't have it.... but I know I will.

Nope, although I will be nervous that it wouldn't go as well. Other issues are what me so nervous to have another one. I couldn't imagine going through what we did with R in the first two months with a toddler running around.

I don't want to go through bf'ing with a toddler particularly because it didn't work out the first time and I'd be going through the learning curve with the second baby. Lots of things make me nervous for #2 though.

Nope... after G I felt more determined to be successful & now after P all our issues actually make me feel more confident that we (the next bub) could find our niche even quicker!

Nope. After having issues with my first, I realized formula was a better fit for my family and I didn't even try breastfeeding the second time around. Personally, I don't always believe breastfeeding is the best choice for every family, so I have zero guilt about going straight to formula the second time around!

Definitely! I only BF M for 3 months, but I would like to go longer when we (hopefully) have a #2. The general challenges of those first few months PPD, colic, etc, make me nervous for a second. I sort of feel like even though I will be thrilled to be pregnant again I will be kind of dreading the newborn stage. Makes me nostalgic for that naive first pregnancy

No, because this time I won't stress so much if it doesn't work.
