Regardless of whether you choose breast or bottle feeding, every baby deserves an optimal start in life. Babies are all born with the same needs and feeding reflexes, so it doesn't matter what kind of nutrition you plan to use to raise your baby. Skin contact, attention, interaction with your baby, and feeding on demand are important for all babies. A baby can develop optimally when these needs are met.
The postpartum doula is happy to help you make the right choice. We'll provide you with all the objective information about the pros and cons of breastfeeding and bottle-feeding. We'll also guide and support you in your decision.
