Yes. Both of them, but not for very long. With my son, only about 4 months as he was drinking an 8 ounce bottle of formula afterwards, and only about 2 months with my daughter due to the fact she didn't want to anymore.

Thank you for your reply:) My daughter never seemed to get totally satisfied even after emptying me out. lol She finally just got tired of me and went straight for the bottle.

I wanted to, but we were not doing well together. So I started pumping, but then I got mastisis and it just HURT, and then I got an allergic reaction from the antibiotics, and I ended up drying up at like three weeks. I was sad about it, but at least she got some. She is fifteen months now, and healthy as an ox! She was sick less than her nursed cousin.

Yes. My oldest for 9 mnths and currently still my 7 mnth. I think its more convenient but mostly because of all the other great benifits.
