I don't even know how to hold and feed one with a bottle. Deciding whether to breastfeed your baby is as personal a decision as the one you made to have a baby. There's no right or wrong answer. When making your decision, consider that breast milk is the best possible food for your baby. It contains carbohydrate, easily digestible protein, and fat, plus antibodies that can protect your baby from infection.
Infant formula is a nutritious alternative to breast milk.
You may even decide to use some combination of both during the first year. Because you'll have the best success with producing breast milk if you begin breastfeeding immediately after delivery, it's important to think about this decision before your baby arrives. Feeding time, whether at the breast or at the bottle, is bonding time. That's because when you hold your baby close, and look into his eyes, you really get to know one another. He begins to understand that he can depend on you to meet his nutritional and emotional needs.
