My husband and I just recently decided we are going to try BF. Up until now, I had planned on using the Playtex disposables with formula. I understand breast milk is healthier for baby (according to my OB-GYN).
I am really confused to this area....
I am going to try the "nipple approach" but I am not really sure I feel comfortable with it nor if I will enjoy the experience. I plan on pumping too.
I know I need bottles (have them already), pump (not sure what kind to get....buy or rent?), bags for pump (not sure what to get), boppy pillow.
What do I get? Can I interchange my nipple and bottle? Can I try breast milk sometimes and formula the other times, in the beginning?
Should I try the "one step" and exactly what is it?
As you can see, I am terribly confused and nervous. Especially since the baby is due in 3 weeks!
Please Help!!
