Breastfeeding or bottle-feeding
At this point, you probably already decided how you will feed your child. But if you still can not make the final decision, read the following tips to help you make the right decision:
• Remember that this is a very personal matter, and the choice depends on individual preferences and lifestyle. Do not let yourself be bewildered by the benevolent friends who share their experiences with you: "Breastfeeding - for me it did not fit."In most of these cases, it did not come just because they were fed in inappropriate conditions, without the support of relatives, and also without the help of an expert at an early stage.
• Ask other breast-feeding mothers that gave them and their children breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is a lifestyle, not just a method of feeding. Surround yourself with equally thinking moms, ready to support you. The mind tells many women that it is better to breastfeed, but they are not ready to give up the energy required by this type of feeding, and then there is a need for support.
• If you are still indecisive by the time you are born, leave yourself some more time to think about, but for now, apply all the tips on how to properly organize breastfeeding. It's easy to go from breast to bottle, but it's very difficult to do the reverse. Many mothers who breastfeed divide that after the difficulties of the first few weeks, when they studied with the child how to take the breast correctly, and set the regime, they felt very comfortable, and so was the rest of the time that they were breastfeeding. If, after a trial period, you do not experience a joyful expectation of the next feeding, or if you feel that breastfeeding is a heavy burden for you, and do not feel a real desire to do so, go to another method of feeding or use them in combination. It is important that you feed the baby as best for both of you.

separates you from birth for a few weeks, you can also do the design of your nest and dress your baby as simply or as intricately as your imagination and finances allow. One thought of the future baby awakens in you a long-dormant instinct of dressing dolls and extravagance. Leave your credit cards with you. You will be surprised at how few things you really need to buy.
