Mothers today have a choice. Although breast milk is the perfect food for a newborn, good store-bought formulas are available. Infant formula can be used in two ways. It can be a supplement to breast milk or can be used instead of breast milk. If at all possible, breast milk is the best choice.
Breast milk is better than even the best infant formulas.
However, an infant will be fine on formula. How you feed your baby is your decision, or maybe a joint decision with you and the father or other family members. Family support is important to make breast-feeding successful. There is no right or wrong decision. Only you will know what is the best choice for you.
