Many parents rely on formula to feed their babies
The reason why this woman decided to throw away her roommate’s baby formula in the first place is because she believes that it’s “poison.” So we did some research to find out: is there anything wrong with giving infants baby formula?
According to the CDC, parents can safely start giving their children formula within the first days of their lives. During this time, the newborn will only need about 1 to 2 ounces of formula every few hours (if they’re not receiving any breastmilk), but it’s absolutely not going to poison your child to start them out on formula as soon as they come into the world.
Now, there are some pros and cons to using formula, as KidsHealth reports that babies who have been fed breastmilk tend to develop less infections and end up in the hospital less often than formula-fed babies.
