vs baba?..or both!! (Pennsylvania WIC question)?

Ok number one.... is best. While fed babies do often need to eat more they are getting much more nutrional value and a much healthier version. I think if you are able to nurse there is no good reason not to. Maybe before making that decision you should do some reading about what goes into baby formula, how its made, and research bottles. At least that way you will know exactly what you are putting into your baby and have some control over that. If I would have had my own way both my children would have been only nursed unfortunately both my children had different health reasons that they also had to be supplemented with formula. Supplementing with formula for many women dramatically lowers their natural milk supply. With my daughter I dried up after only 3 months...my son I nursed to 13 months. Another option if you want to start bottle feeding is pump and bottle feed. As far as WIC it varies state to state Im sure but I know here you lose your mom portion or part of it when you formula feed. If you are nursing and formula feeding they will give you a very limited amount of formula which in most cases isnt enough. As far as your personal issues I think that is something you need to figure out what you are most comfortable with. My daughter has her dads last name sometimes I regret that since he is no part of her life...but even though not physically he is still part of her and she him so if thats all she gets at least she gets that. Him and I were together but not married when she was born. My son has my last name his dad and I were not together and I saw no reason to add a third last name to our family. I think you guys need to really sit down and have some long important talks about both of your feelings and the future of your relationship
