Making an Informed Decision

Before you decide whether or not to use baby formula, there are some things you should consider. Consider the risks and benefits: Breastfeeding is always better than using formula. But if you can't breastfeed and want your child to get all the nutrients, then choosing an appropriate option is important. Do your research: The internet has lots of information about both breastfeeding and formula feeding, but it's not always accurate or credible. That's why it's important to check out websites that have been reviewed by experts in pediatrics, lactation, etc. Talk with your doctor if possible: Your doctor may have insight into which type of formula would work best for your baby based on his specific health conditions.
