Actually, you don't need to take anything to dry up the milk. If
there isn't a baby nursing, then your body will stop producing it on it's
own. But continuing to pump it was making her body think it needed to
produce more. That's probably why she was still sore and it probably took
longer.
Just some info...

I wasn't argueing it wasn't
a good option, even a better one for some. I was pointing out, that
bottle feeding *can* be just as easy. And in some cases, easier. Some
folks aren't comfortable doing it in public, and for those....bottle
feeding is easier. We happened to fall in that catagory. lol Wasn't the
only reason by far we choose bottle feeding, but I can think of numerous
situations where bottle feeding was easier for *us*. Church being
one.....
And yes, I know they have
pumps etc so you can bottle it for stuff like that. But then, IMO
it's just as much hassle as formula. lol As I said before, to each his
own....but for us, formula was the best solution. :)

easier and better for some, that certainly isn't always the case. That's
all I was saying... You asked what hassle, those would be a few.

Sorry Greg,
but I formula/bottle fed 3 of my 4 kids and I breastfed 1 of my 4. The
breastfeeding was waaaay easier. But, I am simply going by my
experience since I did do both. Oh and for the record...I was the
bottle feeding queen advocate for years. I would have argued
anyone that tried to convince me breastfeeding was easier or
better.
But then
once I did it myself, there was no comparison. It's easier, cheaper,
and healthier.
I'm not
knocking you or anybody...otherwise I'd have to knock myself
too..LOL
But I am
glad I finally tried it. It was the best and I recommend it to any
mother to at least try.
