Infant Breastfeeding and Formula Feeding

Infant breastfeeding involves feeding a baby with milk directly from the mother’s breasts, providing essential nutrients and immune factors that support healthy growth and development. Formula feeding uses specially formulated milk designed to mimic breast milk’s nutritional profile when breastfeeding isn’t possible or preferred. Both methods can effectively nourish infants, with breastfeeding offering additional immune benefits and bonding opportunities. The choice depends on personal circumstances, health considerations, and preferences, and consulting healthcare providers can help determine the best option for each family.
