“Roommate’s Shocking Accusation: Is Baby Formula Really a ‘Poison’?”
Breastfeeding might also help protect children against allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity and sudden infant death syndrome. It’s free, convenient and many mothers feel that it’s a great way to bond with their children.
However, breastfeeding can become a huge challenge for many moms. What to Expect reports that a whopping 59% of mothers admit that nursing is harder than they thought it would be, and 12% say that they tried to breastfeed their children but couldn’t.
97% of mothers also seek breastfeeding support, and nearly a quarter say that they would have nursed their babies for longer if they had a better supply of milk.
Because not all moms can rely on their own milk to feed their infants, formula is a wonderful invention and a godsend for many families. It can also be quite convenient, as dads can prepare it as well, and it can be made at any time.
High-quality formula is a perfectly healthy substitute for breastmilk
It allows moms much more flexibility in their schedules, as they won’t have to stop to nurse frequently. Mothers can also can eat or drink whatever they like without considering the impact their diet will have on their child’s milk.
Unfortunately, there are still some misconceptions about formula that are widely circulated, and it’s likely that the roommate in this story has fallen victim to this kind of misinformation. The Bump notes that many parents worry they won’t bond as closely with their children if they don’t nurse them, but that’s simply not the case.
