Breastfeeding Is Better Than Bottle Feeding

Breastfeeding has many benefits for you and your new
baby, it’s far healthier for your baby to be breastfed
for at least the first two weeks.
It will also help you to lose weight after your baby is
born.

In the first few weeks after your baby is born you body
produces fluid called colostrum, it is then breastfed
to your baby.
This is important as it passes on a copy of your immune
system to your baby: it is shown that baby’s that are
breastfed are far more likely to be healthier babies
than ones that are not.

A new born baby that is bottle fed is far more likely
to have a syndrome called “Baby Obesity”, whereas a
breastfed baby will gain weight slowly as they are
supposed to and then slim down as they get older.

One of the more quirky benefits of Breastfeeding a baby
is that they will usually require far less nappy
changing than a bottle fed baby.
To put is bluntly, a Breastfed baby will defecate
between 3 & 5 times LESS than a bottle fed baby. Need
anymore reasons not to breastfeed?

Bottle-feeding can also be rather laborious as you
always have to make sure that the bottles are
sterilised, you have enough formula and when you go out
that you have prepared a bottle.
Whereas, if you are breastfeeding the food is always on
tap and you don’t have any extras to worry about.

One of the main advantages of breastfeeding versus
Bottle Feeding is Cost.
The average baby will cost thousands more in the first
year than one that breastfeeds.

Baby’s that are breastfed are also less likely to
contract ear infections, gastro-enteritis and a whole
range of other illnesses.
Breastfeeding also encourages a bond with the mother,
babies that a bottle fed are know to bond more slowly
with the mother.

Bottle fed babies are know to produce stools that are
more solid than babies that are breastfed. Bottle fed
babies also produce stools that smell a lot worse than
breastfed babies.

Breastfed babies are also easier to wind that bottle
fed babies, this makes the parents life just that
little bit easier.

Our advice is to breastfeed when you can, not all women
can breastfeed but if it is possible for you to
breastfeed make sure that you do as the benefits are
great.
