A lot of mothers now choose to feed their infants with formula milk rather than giving them breast milk. These women think that they would loss beauty if they feed their children. It is a bad thought. The infants get the maximum immunity and nutrients from the breast milk. If you were asked what you would prefer between breast milk and formula milk, what would you prefer?

I'm already a teenager so I wouldn't go for br3ast milk. I actually never got to try it (and I wouldn't want to anymore) 0_0
Hope this counts!

Hi Ken, I'm sorry. I didn't read the whole description. For what I understood, I thought you were asking US what we prefer to drink. :)
Of course, for babies, br3ast milk works best for it is highly recommended and infants are not suitable for the chemicals in the processed milk just yet.
After 3 years of br3astmilking, those bottled milk with rubber nips would be just fine so they wouldn't be too reliable on br3ast milk.
Other than that,
I hope this counts.
Thanks and I'm sorry about that one earlier.

HI,
Giving me an option, I will choose to give Pure mothermilk for
my baby because it is very nutritious and sametime, it is bonding
moment between the mother and the baby during feeding time .
Unfortunately, I have to choose for milk formula for my son because
I don't have enough milk supply for him and within a week after my
delivery, it was dried out and all the time ,my son was on milk
formula.
I felt so bad and sad because I could not give him the best which he
really need it. I feel envy on those mothers who can bfeed their babies
till 2-3 years old.

It is a bit sad that though you wanted to feed your kid, you couldn't.

I believe that the natural mother's milk is the best choice for her baby. It is the right temperature, no equipment is needed and it is always ready for the baby that wishes to drink. The early days have a very special sort of mother's milk that is helpful to the baby. My sister has fed all four of her babies with her natural milk and she likes it that way. When my disabled son was born he was taken to the special care baby unit. I took home an expressing machine and brought my natural milk in a bottle for him to drink. Once he came home I was too busy to sit around expressing and he wouldn't take the natural milk in the normal way. I put him on a soy formula because we are a vegan family. When my baby daughter was born I lost a great deal of blood and my body went very weak as a result of that. I tried giving my baby daughter my natural milk but it wasn't enough to satisfy her. It was so upsetting for me that my natural milk supply was in short supply. I put her on to a soy formula.
