Breast Or Bottle - Which Is Right For You
By Sarah Veda, Fri Dec 9th
There are lots of decisions to make when there's a baby on theway. One of the most controversial is the ever raging "breast orbottle" debate. There are many people who have strong feelingson both sides of this issue, and many of them will try like atelevangelist to get you on their side. I'm not going to dothat. I'm going to give you the facts, and share some personalinsight on the subject, which hopefully will leave you feelinggood, whatever your choice. Scientifically, breast milk is best. There are nutrients inbreast milk that help your child's brain develop, and try asthey might, formula makers cannot replicate these nutrients.Breastfeeding protects your child from illnesses because, aslong as he or she is nursing, they are protected by your immunesystem, which is much more developed than theirs. Breast milk isvery well tolerated by babies, and hardly ever causes gastricproblems, and breastfed are less likely to be overweight. But, realistically, the scientific facts are not the only thingsto be considered. Women who simply don't want to breastfeed willprobably not be very successful. Even some women who want tobreastfeed will find it so difficult, that they are miserabletrying to make it work. Some women will have difficulty makingenough milk to satisfy their baby's hunger, and some women willsuffer more pain with breastfeeding than they can endure. If youfall into one of those categories, don't beat yourself up. Yourbaby can do quite nicely on formula, too.

my only chanceto be pregnant and breastfeed. I read all the books I could getmy hands on, and like a fool, spent a bunch of money on a breastpump. Well, it turns out that my nipples are not exactly a matchedset, so my daughter completely rejected one nipple. So, I nursedon the side she would take until my nipples looked like groundbeef. Plus, she was an eight pound eating machine at birth, andno matter how long I nursed her, I couldn't satisfy herappetite. Even with pumping from the breast that she rejected,she was always hungry. I made myself crazy from it, worked withtwo different lactation consultants and tried every trick in thebook, but still every attempt at nursing ended in tears. Aftertwo miserable weeks, I gave in and put her on formula. We havenever looked back. I was happier because I wasn't constantlyfrustrated, and she was happier because her tummy was full andbecause her Mommy was much more relaxed. Now that I've told you that story, I'll tell you this. If I everhad another baby, I would try breastfeeding again. Every baby isdifferent, and a Mother's body is different with each pregnancy.I would try again to give my child the best from a nutritionalstandpoint. But, I understand now that sometimes it just doesn'twork, or it isn't right for you, and that doesn't mean thatyou're not a good Mom. Breast or bottle is a personal choice. Weigh the facts and thepreferences, and make the choice that is right for you and yourbaby. Whatever you decide, you don't owe anyone an explanation.
