Why Breast Milk Is Always The Best For Your Baby.

In the early days with a new baby, a new mother will regularly feel a bit daunted by the idea of breast feeding, and could struggle with the decision over when to use the bottle and when to use the breast.

As the saying goes, “breast is best”. This is true in that there are more natural nutrients in breast milk than will ever be found in bottled formula, and it enables the baby to grow up in better health than would otherwise be viable. There are, it goes without saying, some problems to this. But there are problems to everything, and it is how you address them that is really important.

A baby will need feeding at regular intervals, and for a mother who is breast feeding this may present a few interesting challenges. For one, there is always the issue of whether the baby will need to be fed while you are out for one reason or another. Breast feeding in public is still frowned upon by many, and in some places you will be requested to leave if you do it. This limits where you may go and what you possibly could do, and while you may express breast milk to be served from a bottle, this affects the temperature.

Also, some mothers feel that breast feeding causes excessive pain in the nipples. Expressing milk is a partial answer to this, but achieving the proper temperature is only part of the problem there. Some people feel that feeding directly from the breast is the only way to establish the closeness that a mother and baby should have – anything less and you will have to deal with people asking you why you are not doing it, and regardless of your reasons they will keep doing so.
