breast feeding?
so im planning on breast feeding my daughter but i was wondering if when out in public, i dont really wanna breast feed so i was going to pump. well i got to thinking: will the breast milk go bad? so if im out and about and she gets hungry can i feed her a bottle that i pumped before we left the house?
Pumped breastmilk is good at room temperature for 8-10 hours. Don't worry- your baby won't eat spoiled milk, anyway :) ETA: From http://www.breastfeed-essentia ls.com/storagehandling.html: STORAGE Human milk has been found to have properties that protect it from bacterial contamination which allow it to be stored longer than was previously thought. Guidelines for breastmilk storage are as follows: Freshly expressed breastmilk may be kept at room temperature for up to 10 hours (colostrum or milk expressed within 6 days of delivery can be stored 12 hours at room temperature).

when breast feeding at 4 mthsshould you start formula?
my wifes finding it hard breast feeding our 4mth old son and wants to put him on formula. she says she wants to combine feed him (breast & formula). is this advisable? i dont agree to do this as i think breast feeding is better for him... can anyone please offer me any advice?
What is it she's having trouble with? If it's a question of feeling like she's nursing ALL the time, that'll pass as he gets more efficient at draining a breast. Also he can start some solids at 6 months, which won't cut out breastfeeding, but can replace some of it. At 6 months I started giving my daughter some rice cereal with pumped milk in it. If she's tired from night feedings, consider cosleeping so she can nurse lying down and get some sleep. That saved me!! Perhaps she could be persuaded to pump sometimes and let you take some feedings. Breastmilk is far and away the BEST food ever, so point that out. Also, germs transferred to your baby enter the breast and come back out to him as antibodies, so it's so good for their health. Good for you for realizing formula isn't good enough! Be sensitive though, because I'm sure she's exhausted and liable to be crabby!
