Last night I asked if any of you formula feeders had tried to breastfeed first.

I asked this because I tried to breastfeed my son but he had reflux, and he would just throw my milk back up. But the formula he would keep down, somewhat. He is eight months old, and he is just now out-growing reflux. It has been a long and hard road for me. (For any who don't know... REFLUX SUCKS!)

Despite the fact that I formula feed, I hate formula! I am a breastfeeding activist. And it still angers me that I gave up so easily with my son. I have vowed to myself to do it differently with my next child.

And though I did not initially choose to formula feed, I feel that people automatically assume I did when they see me feeding my son.

What do you all think? When someone goes on a breastfeeding rant... And they have no idea that you DID try... What do you say to them? Do you ever feel guilty?

My daughter is almost a year old. Should I start to wean her off of her formula now by adding a little milk to it? I'd like to quit formula the day she turns one (Feb2) becuase its so damn expensive. Any tips?

He is a very bright child. He enjoys cartoons and game systems such as game boy and game cube. He knows how to use the remote control without problems and the tivo. When asked to use the toilet or set him on the toilet he cry's and says "I want my biper" and try's to run to get his diapers. He try's to pick out his diapers at the store. We have tried to explain how good it would be to be a big boy like his siblings and tried to get him to pick out new underwear but he doesn't want them, he just requests "his bipers" I have tried everything that worked with his siblings and he shows no interest. He also doesn't care if his diaper is ready to explode because it is so full. I have no idea on how to get him interested. I would appreciate any and all advice.

I since haven't had a period and my stomach has hardened and now i have started to feel fluttering in my stomach at night and other movements like bubbles in my stomach, also my stomach is itchy both inside and out. Could I be pregnant? I had a urine test at the doctors and it was negative though I haven't had a blood test done.
