So you're pregnant or perhaps thinking of taking the plunge. Of all the decisions that go with this period in your life none can be as confusing or informationally contrary as that of choosing how to feed your child. No matter what you decide, chances are that you will be subjected to unasked and unwanted advice. Studies show that the majority of the population have already decided how they will feed their child, BEFORE they are pregnant.

In the above sections you will find current facts that may help you make an informed choice on how to feed your infant.

If you are now pregnant, you will no doubt have heard the phrase that "breast is best". That in itself may seem inflammatory to some who would say "I was bottlefed and I turned out okay". However, there are reasons why this is may be less true than you might think.

Please examine some of the lesser known facts about breastmilk by clicking on the above pages.

While formula companies have worked hard to imitate properties of breastmilk, at best, it is an incomplete copy.
