Is breast milk better then formula, or is formula just as good for baby?”
in terms of a lot of things, digestion, not getting allergies, and it IS free, even if you have to pump it, which I recommend so that you can have ready made bottles all prepared so baby does not get starving and go wild for food while you are trying to get ‘set up’ to feed him/her. And then the whole family can help, not you sit there for hours on end by yourself falling asleep in the middle of the night. Use Dr Brown’s bottles. You can also supplement with formula if you are not producing enough, but again, you need to watch the ingredients, and it is not cheap. The breast pump is anywhere from $200-$300 or you can rent one from the hospital and try it out. You will also get a ton of coupons from the hospital when you have your baby and so make the most of all the discounts they have to offer. Then you need a microwave bottle sterilizer, and a fast bottle warmer, which you will also be able to use to heat jars of baby food quickly later. Good luck!
