IBCLC Breastfeeding Help
Feeding Options
Drugwatch is a free online health resource reviewed by the Health on the Net Foundation, University of Illinois at Chicago's Drug Information Group, and The Physicians' Review Network Inc.
Experts agree that breastfeeding is the optimal way to feed a baby, however, there are cases where doctors may recommend formula.
We've created a comprehensive guide that discusses breastfeeding vs formula. It covers things like pros and cons of each, as well as challenges of both breastfeeding and formula, supplemental feeding and more! Please take a look at that, and our general formula guide:
drugwatch.com/baby-formula/breastfeeding-vs-formula/
When it comes down to it, parents are the ones that decide what is best for their baby.
