Breast Feeding - English

What about giving formula while breastfeeding?

The WHO, AAP and CDC recommend that all infants are breastfed exclusively unless there is a medical reason not to. • Breastmilk is designed perfectly for human infants, with everything they need to grow well. Formula is cow’s milk-based and much harder for the infant to digest. • Breastmilk reduces your infant’s risk of SIDS by up to 50%. There is no evidence that formula reduces the risk. • Breastmilk supports the infant’s immune system. Formula does not.
