I am pregnant and considering how to feed my baby either breast milk or formula. What is the best way?
nswer: Breast milk is made just for your baby and there is less chance of an allergic reaction or feeding problems. The first milk, colostrum, provides immunities to the baby protecting him from certain diseases. Breast milk is easier to digest, and that special time with just you and baby increases the bond. Research shows that breastfed babies no matter how long they are breastfeed are smarter! If Dad feels left out he can always help by changing diapers, and entertaining between feedings.
