Hello my beautiful mommies welcome back to my breastfeeding series. Today we’re going to be talking about the difference between breastmilk and formula.

So I hope I can get you on my bandwagon of breastfeeding. So let’s talk about it, breastmilk verses formula.

You got problems in your life and you need advice? All you gotta do is Ask Chauntel.

Ok, so there is tons, tons of research  out there and information. I am just going to give you some key points that I think you should be aware of if you are considering giving your baby formula over breastmilk. 

Number one, God gave us breastmilk. Why do you think he gave us breastmilk? He gave us breastmilk because it was the best thing for our babies. So breast milk has antibodies. Formula does not. When you take prenatal vitamins and you eat well, you produce natural vitamins for your baby that is not natural in formula. They do put vitamins in formula but some vitamins don’t set well with the baby so it’s much better for them to get it directly from the breastmilk.

Breastfeeding is good for the mom and good for the baby. It reduces lots of diseases and things that babies can get later on in life. Including but not limited to being overweight, it can reduce gonorea, type two diabetes, Hodgkins disease and so many more. For women it can help reduce ovarian cancer, reduce breast cancer and lots of other diseases. In addition that that, it will help you to shrink your uterus a lot faster, and your stomach.

woahh,

Its also a great time for bonding between you and your baby. It is amazing time for you to spend together and learn each other.

Did you know that your baby can smell you up to 50 feet away. That baby can smell that milk. MMMhhmmm. 

Breastmilk is a lot easier to digest then formula, but with that you are going to be feeding your baby a whole lot more if you are breastfeeding them, than if you are doing formula. Just keep that in mind.

But the upside to that is you don’t have to make a bunch of bottles. You don’t have to clean a bunch of bottles. You don’t have to warm a bunch of bottles. Its the perfect temperature for your baby all the time. All you have to do is pop it out and feed your baby. 

Breastfeeding will also reduce the risk of SIDS, sudden infant death syndrome. Breastfeeding is also known to increase cognition and is known to possibly give your baby a higher IQ. Breastfeeding is free and is going to save you a lot of money. Formula can be cost $200 a month and sometimes even more than that. So its going to save you a lot of money and you cannot buy that stuff, the good stuff.

But if you are breastfeeding your baby you are going to have to eat right and you cannot spoke or drink. When you give your baby formula you determine how much the baby is going to drink, but when it comes to the breast the baby determines how much they are going to drink, and i think that is so much better for them. And that means that they are not going to be overeating.

The one thing that I hate about breastfeeding, of all the things I love about it, is pumping. Because I work during the day and I have to pump and if you don’t pump you can loose the amount of milk supply that you have, and that is the thing that I cannot quite stand but other than that is not so bad.

Also, occasionally you are going to leak so be ready for that. You don’t have that problem with formula. Anyways just keep  in
