As good stewards, we have to consider the affect of breastfeeding on the family budget. Most of us have limited financial resources. Breastfeeding saves money. Because a family typically buys formula as needed, they may not realize what a significant expense it is. We must also consider the additional health costs of formula feeding.
Research shows that breastfed babies are healthier in general than formula fed babies.
Breastfeeding is cost effective. Time Breastmilk is a healthy, convenient fast food. Because the milk is always ready, usually nursing a baby takes less overall time than formula feeding. Formula requires measuring, mixing, sterilizing and cleanup. When you travel with a formula fed baby, you need extra time to pack the artificial baby milk, bottles, nipples, rubber rings, etc.
