Breastfeeding undoubtedly is a beautiful experience. It provides correct nutrition to the body. Not only this, when a baby is breastfed, the antibodies from the mother’s body are also transferred to the baby that helps the baby to build a healthy immune system. But there are a few challenges that breastfeeding faces.

  • Both the mother and the child need to go through immense practice and patience to get used to the method.
  • Another challenge faced by go-to mothers is the schedule that breastfeeding needs to follow.
  • Any consumption made by the mother, be it caffeine or alcohol might be transferred to the baby during breastfeeding. Mother’s diet needs to be highly monitored.

Facing these challenges can be really frustrating for the mother too. Enter, Baby Formula!

The baby formula provides the baby correct amount of nutrition, irrespective of health or food consumption done by the mother. There are a few concerns that young mothers face these days about baby food.

Relax! Your Baby Is Safe!

Baby food is manufactured in a sterile condition and it takes immense effort by the manufacturers to replicate a mother’s milk using a complex combination of micronutrients and macronutrients.

Making a choice can be hard for you. Make sure you consult a doctor before taking a decision. If nothing helps you calm down, your doctor will.

Baby food is highly recommended by the doctor and it is safe for your baby to consume.

Intake

If the mother is not able to lactate properly after 3 months, they can feed the baby with the baby formula. Otherwise, if the mother is healthy, it is recommended, that the baby food is given to the baby after 6 months. This time duration is only given because the breast milk gives the baby an immune system to build. Mother’s colostrum contains a high level of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and antibodies that help the child to build an immune system and grow better. And the baby formula is manufactured keeping in view the composition of colostrum.

It is hard to be a mother and it’s harder to trust something that is manufactured for your baby to consume. But stay rest assured that the manufacturers understand what it means to be a mother and they keep in mind your baby is precious to you and to them!
