Which is easier? Breast or bottle?

For me, bottle feeding was easier because it meant I could finally get treatment for my PPD. 

BREAST!!

And I've done both!

I think bottle feeding is easier, but breastfeeding is better.

It depends I guess.  I enjoyed being the ONLY one to feed my babies when I'm with them, so breastfeeding was definitely easier.  No bottles to make, no bottles to heat up, no remembering to pack the bottles, no cleaning of the bottles, etc.  I had this discussion with my husband the other day and he said "but honey, remember, most of these young girls (that we know-not generalizing to all young mothers) have other people taking care of their kid all the time, so they don't care if someone else has to do all that work."  I had never looked at it that way before, buy he definitely had a point.

And then if the mother works full time (which I have done with both), pumping is not easy, but I think for whoever is feeding the baby when the mother's not around, breastmilk bottles are much easier to heat up then formula bottles.

I breastfed my first for 13 1/2 months and am still breastfeeding my 13 month old.  Neither had a single drop of formula, but both had breastmilk from a bottle:breast is much easier than the bottle for me, and I'm talking about breastmilk.

Bottle. I pumped for both of my kids. I exclusively-bf my dd for 6 weeks but it was just too hard for me. It may be convenient but it just took too much out of me to bf, it's just something I can't do, so in the end it is more difficult to do. Pumping is more comfortable. I froze a lot of milk too :)

Breast is not easiest when you have a classroom full of students and only a 20 minute lunch break...kinda hard to pump enough to feed that baby under those conditions....lol!

Breat all the way. Nothing to prepare, no bottles to wash. No worries of running out of formula. Also, we have a well w/ an electic pump so when the electricity goes out, so does the well pump. No worries of not having water to make it during a power outage. It's always with us and ready to go when ever and where ever Mia is hungry. Instant soother when she's fussy too. I feel very fortunate to have been able to breast feed my 2nd baby this long. I wish I could have gone longer with my first but I didn't know as much then as I do now.

i enjoyed breastfeeding better but both girls weened themselves off at 6 months. they just wouldn't latch anymore so we had to go to the bottle... which is more convenient when  the hubby and I want a night out. My mom can keep a can of formula at her house and bottles on hand =) but again to each their own (= there is no wrong way to feed your baby

I have done both so I would say that breast is the easiest in all areas. When I leave the house all I take is the baby, my cover and some diapers. Also my BF baby hasn't had near the health concerns regarding reflux and allergies that my first had. I know it isn't true in all situations but it was in mine. I work full time in a very busy bank and I still manage to pump three times a day. If I go somewhere  that I might feel uncomfortable about BF then I just simply pump and daddy feeds the baby. I wish it was advocated how much easier BF is, people tend to think it is really hard when it isn't.

I've done them both and bottlefeeding is easier.  But I think it depends on the person.  With me, I don't like taking my newborn out to do errands, so I always feel like I have to rush to get back in time to feed him.  And when I do take him i'm one who is not comfortable to feed in public so when it's time I have to find somewhere that I have at least some privacy.  And with my daughter, she was allergic to milk, wheat, and strawberries, so I never knew what to eat, plus it seems like I always had to eat to keep my milk up and I hate that.  I'm also someone who likes drinking, so I couldn't do that much.  I also would love to go out and see a movie or just do something fun with a friend, but i'm not doing that because of time.  Sometimes he eats more other days and i'm not letting him go hungry, so i'm putting off hanging out with friends unless I bring him.  If he was bottlefed, my hubby could do some feedings and i'd have more time for myself.
