Breastfeeding is a great, cost-effective way to not only feed your baby, but to bond with him or her as well.
Mom's milk:
Is hypoallergenic
Is ideal for baby's development
Carries mom's antibodies
Is a gut builder
Reduces SIDS risk
Reduces many other health risks
Some things to remember if you feed baby with formula or have to supplement breast milk with formula:
Make sure you use a commercial brand formula.
If your baby is under one year old, goat's milk, cow's milk, soy milk, coconut milk, almond milk etc are NOT suitable substitutes for breast milk or formula.
Any amount of breast milk helps. Even if you can't produce enough milk on your own and have to supplement with formula, give baby any breastmilk you can make.
