What do you think about formula? I will breastfeed, but still I think to include the formula. Is it better, than just breastfeeding?
It's not. Breast milk is the best because it's specifically made for your baby. There are numerous advantages that formula just can't match up too.
Still, formula will nourish your baby if you choose not to bf.
If you can, just breastmilk is best. Usually doctors will recommend vitamin drops, for vitamin D. That’s the only vitamin that our bodies tend to hog for themselves. If you need to use formula, don’t worry, it’s still healthy for baby!
As long as you can produce enough breast milk you will not need to introduce formula.
Baby will get everything the most out of breastmilk. Formula can’t replicate all the benefits of breastmilk.
Breastmilk is the healthiest option. If you have a good supply and can sustain the baby solely on the breast, there will be no need for formula.
Breast milk is the absolute best. Formula can be used to supplement if you have a low supply or issues breastfeeding.
So, if I have enough milk, I don’t need to add any formula? Because all my friends telling me that, if I will breastfeed and also can introduce a formula baby can get more vitamins.
@zhyldyzalova, right. If you have enough breast milk skip the formula altogether. There is absolutely no need to introduce formula. Breast milk provides everything nutritionally and it has more vitamins than formula, I believe!
I’m a formula feeding mum so I’m not bashing anyone.
Are you asking if formula is better than breastfeeding? Breastmilk is the most natural and healthy food for a baby. You can absolutely breastfeed without introducing formula.
Yes, my question was, I can breastfeed without introducing formula. Thank u so much!
Question for formula moms
How much do you spend a month on formula and what brand? I think the thought of spending the money is the biggest deterrent for me to switch. I do think breast milk is best but I also think formula is great since I was a formula baby. I'm just getting exhausted and frustrated with pumping all the time until we can get his tongue tie clipped and hoping that will fix his latching and sucking issues. They're taking forever to get me the referral. Gotta love Tricare.
Are you breastfeeding or using formula ?!? I'm still debating! I was thinking formula but I know breastfeeding is the healthiest route
I think I'm going to do breastfeeding and see how he attaches to me & if not I'm going to put him on breastmilk formula.
i feel so bad feeding my baby formula but he is getting full with my breastmilk and i dont think i am producing enough😔
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Nothing is better than breastmilk. Breastmilk is special made for baby. I would take a class to learn the process. The more you know how, the more successful you will be at it.
