Breast Vs Bottle Key Nutrients Explained

Breast Vs Bottle

Here’s why breast-feeding is best for your little one:

  • It’s full of antibodies that strengthen your baby’s immune system 
  • It helps to protect against common infections like tummy bugs
  • It could even prevent babies developing asthma or eczema

But breast-feeding is not only good for babies –  it’s good for mums, too:

  • By burning up fat and helping to shrink your uterus, it can help you get your figure back! 
  • You always have a ready supply of milk, always at the right temperature 
  • No need to sterilise bottles or make up feeds 
  • No need to buy bottles, teats and sterilising equipment 
  • It’s free! And, of course, breast-feeding is a wonderful way to build a special bond with your precious newborn.

It’s not just an old wives’ tale when people say breast is best. GPs, midwives and paediatricians agree that breast milk really does give your baby a fantastic start in life. At Farley’s we couldn’t agree more.

But there are times when breastfeeding isn’t possible and your health professional will be able to suggest a formula milk that‘s suitable.

Did you know?
The size of your breasts doesn’t affect milk supply. As long as your baby is feeding regularly, your body will produce all the milk they need.
