reastFeedingVsFormula
Choosing whether to breastfeed or formula feed your baby is one of thefirst decisions expectant parents will make. The American Academyof Pediatrics (AAP) recommends breastfeeding as the best for babies. Breastfeeding helps defend against infections, preventallergies, and protect against a number of chronic conditions.
The AAP says babies should be breastfed exclusively for the first 6months. Beyond that, the AAP encourages breastfeeding until atleast 12 months, and longer if both the mother and baby are willing.
For mothers who are unable to breastfeed or who decide not to, infantformula is a good alternative. But if you feed your baby with acommercially prepared formula, be assured that your baby'snutritional needs will be met. And you'll still bond with your baby just fine.
