Breast Feeding or Bottle Feeding?

Breast Feeding or Bottle Feeding? 09/30/2009

By Gemma Greene

Choosing whether to feed your baby from the breast or from the bottle is a choice every parent/parents will have to make. While it is usually said that "breast is best" with scientific research backing up this statement, it is not always so simple a choice. In certain cases, breastfeeding is not possible for mothers like those who are on certain medications, for instance. Another example of why mothers might choose against breastfeeding might be practicality, depending on their situation or lifestyle or also their own personal comfort level with breastfeeding.

Human breast milk is the healthiest form of milk for babies. It also has many medical benefits for the baby such as passed on antibodies from mother to child, defending against illness as well as a lowered risk of allergies. A mother nursing her child can also help strengthen the bond of attachment and can be a very special experience for mothers. Some put forward the argument that facial muscles used in breastfeeding are different from those used in bottle fed babies and are better in developing speech. Breast milk can also expressed for any occasions where dad is minding baby or for feeding baby at night.

Bottle feeding has many advantages for parents, the main one of these being the fact that either parent can feed baby. This means that it is not always, poor over tired, mom that has to get up in the middle of the night to feed baby and the workload can be made a little fairer. Although the sterilisation of bottles can be of annoyance, bottles can be easy to make when mom is away.

Whichever you choose breast or bottle in baby feeding, you should take time and consideration in doing so. You can also seek advise from a medical professional on the matter. If you decide to go down the path of bottle feeding, there are many baby feeding products on the market that can help reduce colic and wind. So whatever your decision, make sure it is an informed one.

Thank you
