Making the Decision

Home » Babies » Bottle Feeding vs. Breastfeeding » Making the Decision

When making the decision whether to bottle or breastfeed, women shouldn't let other people's opinions dictate their decision. Just because breastfeeding is right for one woman doesn't mean it is right for another. It is a personal decision that should be made after research, talking to other mothers, talking to health care professionals, and personal reflection. The choice not to breastfeed does not make a woman a bad mother. It should be about what is right for the baby, since his or her wellbeing is the most important thing. There are several places that offer information on breastfeeding and bottle feeding such as http://www.lalecheleague.org/ the website for the La Leche League a worldwide support group for breastfeeding mothers and http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/752.html which offers information on both breastfeeding and bottle feeding.
