Your baby's first year can be an exciting time and the most confusing time because you as a parent aren't sure if you are doing everything right for your infant. Let our baby's first year channel help guide you and support you through your baby's first year. Choosing whether to formula feed or breastfeed is a hard decision but ultimately it is up to you and what is right for you. There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to breastfeeding or bottle feeding. Obviously both work very well. Here we present information on formula/bottle feeding your baby.

Is Bottle feeding right for me and my baby? Bottle feeding and/or formula feeding is an individual choice. Bottle feeding can be the right choice for you.

What is the difference between bottle/formula feeding and breastfeeding? There is an obvious difference in bottle/formula feeding and breastfeeding. One is natural the other is not. Formula is man-made but breastfeeding is natural milk from a mother. Experts do say that breast is bed and IQ is higher in breastfed children. However, this does not mean that you have to breastfeed. I can't stress enough how important it is to choose the option that is best for you and your child.

Why Should I choose to formula feed my baby? Sometimes things prevent you from breastfeeding therefore you should formula feed. Feeding your baby formula is comparable to breastfeeding.

Is formula healthy for my baby? Yes, baby formula is healthy. Formula is a healthy comparable alternative to breastfeeding a baby. Formula is the only choice if you do not prefer to breastfeed. However, I do encourage to consider or at least try to breastfeed first.

When Should I stop giving my baby formula and/or a bottle? Doctors recommend stopping bottle use at 12 months of age. Some babies wean earlier and some stop using the bottle a little later.
