Breastfeeding Vs Bottle Feeding

Very few experts disagree with the fact that breastfeeding is the optimal choice for the infant. However, decreasing breastfeeding rates raise many questions as to why mothers are not choosing the best nutritional choice for their children. Despite breast milk being the obvious choice for infant feeding due to the health, psychological, and economic benefits, many mothers still decide to feed their infants formula due to lack of knowledge and support, difficulties with breastfeeding, and social embarrassment. Changes need to be made with formula companies, medical professionals, and the public opinion of breastfeeding in order to give nursing mothers the support they deserve.

Brain processing is also faster (Georgieff, par. 23). “The Journal of the American Medical Association, reported that adults who as babies were breast-fed for seven months had higher IQ’s than those who were breast-fed for two weeks or less. A direct link may not exist between breast-fed babies and higher IQ’s, but a correlation, between the amount of time that a mother spends breast-feeding and the amount of time she will spend with her child as he grows up is defiantly indicated. If a mother is willing to devote herself to being the sole provider of food for her baby when he is young then perhaps she will spend more time one on one with him as he grows (Gupta, par. # 2&7). “One oft-cited advantage of breast-feeding is the bond it promotes between mother and baby.” (“Giving your Baby...Diet.” par. #10) “Nursing is a valuable source of security and comfort for your baby... Your and your baby comfort each other. Your baby regularly needs your breast milk and physical closeness and your full breasts regularly need to be emptied. Breast-feeding develops an intimate relationship that can deepen the bond between you and your baby” (Neifert, par #6).

Breastfeeding is one of the best methods for providing infants with a healthy start to life. Breast milk helps the body fight off various bacteria and viruses that one’s child might be at risk for catching. Breastfed babies are thirty-six percent less likely to die from sudden infant death syndrome and are fifty-five percent likely to become obese later in life, compared to babies who are not breastfeed. (Workplace and Public Accommodations for Nursing Mothers, 2016) Not only is the child benefiting from breastfeeding, the mother is as well. Women who breastfeed are more likely to revert to their

Although it appears that breastmilk is the most beneficial way of feeding an infant but there are some negativies to breastfeeding. First of all, women must carefully watch their diet that breastfeed. Women who drink a lot of coffee or soda pop can make their baby more prone to irritability and restlessness. Women also have to be careful not to eat to much fish or drink to much alchol. A formula fed baby's mom doesn't have to worry about what she eats at all. Secondly, women suffering from HIVS and AIDS may make breast feedings unsafe. Medications they take can actually harm the baby. Finally, many women feel the "latch-on" to be uncomfortable. Pain is common within the first minute but some women find it uncomfortable throughout the whole feeding. This is a sign of infection and a mother would be advised to switch to formula feeding.

Your family is expecting a newborn baby within the next couple of months. This event in someone’s life will change their lives forever and can be a very exciting and exhausting change. Although you may be excited and impatient for the baby’s arrival, this event can cause a lot of stress on the family. While your lives are completely changing; there are things you need to do to prepare yourself and there are many important decisions that need to be made. Decisions need to be made regarding what you are going to name the baby, where you will deliver, how you will give birth, how you will feed your new baby, and the list continues to go on. I am expecting a baby in five months and the toughest

Kurt Bruner and Steve Stroope begin chapter 1 of their book titled It Starts At Home: A Practical Guide to Nurturing Lifelong Faith, with the following two sentences, “If you’ve ever been part of a loving, healthy family you have smelled the sweet aroma of heaven. If you’ve ever lived in a troubled, broken home you have breathed the foul stench of hell.” For many couples, having children can be the most pleasing experience they will ever have in their marriage. Unfortunately, for many others—those that are unable to cope with the stressors children bring to a marriage—will view the experience as a detriment to their marriage. For some just deciding when to have children can be a marriage stressor. For others, an unexpected pregnancy can cause tremendous stress in a marriage. Parenting requires a change in lifestyle and brings with it many challenges to a marriage. Those couples that think they are prepared soon find out that there is no way to prepare for all that raising a child entails. For those that are not prepared or did not get the chance to adequately prepare, there will be times when their commitments to each other will be tested.

Breastfeeding passes on antibodies to the infant. This allows the infant to be immune to diseases at an earlier age. Babies who are breastfed are less likely to get an infection. Breast milk is an important factor to brain development because it contains the following compounds taurine amino acid DHA ,fatty acid. These advantages of breastmilk are way better than nurturing a baby with formula. Breast milk is more convenient because it is always available anywhere at any time. There is no need for any bottles or a microwave to heat up the milk. One of the most recognized advantage is that breastmilk is free and not expensive as formula. Another advantage of the mother breastfeeding the baby is that the baby is exposed to variety of different flavors from all the nutrients taken from food. The mother also benefits from breastfeeding because most of

First, breastfeeding helps mother and baby to be healthy. They are both protected from illness while the mother chose to breastfeed her child. Because the milk is natural and has many nutriments, the baby

Breast-feeding is as natural as breathing and has always been a way for a mother to not only feed her child, but to form a connection with her child. It seems like a no-brainer, but many women struggle with the choice to breastfeed or to bottle feed with packaged formula. Fortunately, there is an abundance of information available to parents that help explain the advantages of breast milk, whether the baby feeds directly from his or her mother or receives milk from a donor.

When females become mothers, it is optional if she wants to breastfeed or not. Yes it is better to breastfeed and also it’s healthy for the child, and the mother. The issue today, Is Breastfeeding Inevitably Best for Healthy Development? I agree with Julie E. Artis, that the broad promotion of breastfeeding has the potential to unfairly stigmatize women who do not breastfeed while overstating the benefit. Reasons why I agree with Julie E. Artis because mothers should not be stigmatize, because they chose to not to breastfeed. I feel as though, not all mothers are not comfortable with breastfeeding, or are not able to breastfeed, so mothers will prefer not to breastfeed. Julie E. Artis had a few statements about; mother should breastfeed at their own risk. I agree with her with this statement, because mothers might have health problems, culture and ethnicity values, and also conformability which play a factor as well. Breastfeeding is best or breast is best for short, that what the U.S Department of Health and Human Services from the Surgeon say’s, but it is also good for mothers to breastfeed at their own risk, because mothers are making a choice that works for them and their infant.

Breastfeeding is recommended for mostly all babies but even more for preterm infants. The improved immune system claims are supported by focusing on how breastfeeding provides a broad multifactorial anti-inflammatory defense for the infant (Hanson, 2007). This lowers their chances of getting sick. Also, another benefit is improved cognitive abilities. This is shown in that breastfed children have shown significantly higher developmental scores in comparison with formula-fed children (Anderson, Johnsyone, & Remley, 1999). An improvement in overall wellbeing is seen

In December 1997 the American Academy of Pediatrics issued its most aggressive statement to due urging mothers to breastfeed for at least a year and beyond “for as long as mutually desired.” Mother’s milk alone provides all the nutrients necessary for a baby’s physical and mental development for at least at least six months, with the added benefit of natural immunity against numerous diseases. In Milk, Money and Madness: The Culture and Politics of Breastfeeding, Naomi Baumslag, MD, MPD, asserts that “breastfed babies also have lower incidence of allergies, urinary tract infections, obesity, learning, behavioral and psychological problems, later-life heart disease, pneumonia, neonatal sepis, and giardia

Throughout the country there are about 4 million babies born each day, while the mother has the choice of choosing whether or not she would like to breast feed or just straight from the get-go after having the child feed them formula from a bottle. Some women may have their particular reason why they choose what they do, but are they fully aware on how both breastfeeding and bottle feeding truly effects and helps their child? Breastfeeding is the most beneficial way for mothers to feed their newborn child.

“Breastfeeding is an unequalled way of providing ideal food for the healthy growth and development of infants; it is also an integral part of the reproductive process with important implications for the health of mothers” Statement taken from the world health organization publication on the nutrition of exclusive breastfeeding.
