Breastfeeding is best for babies and provides the optimal balance of nutrition and protection during growth and development. Good maternal nutrition is important in preparation for and during breastfeeding. If you are considering bottle feeding, always seek professional advice as introducing bottle feeding, either partially or exclusively, may adversely affect breastfeeding by reducing the amount of your own breast milk supply and may be difficult to reverse should you change your mind.
Consider the financial and social implications when deciding on a feeding method for your baby. Improper or unnecessary use of infant formula may affect the health of your baby, therefore, always prepare and use as per the instructions.
