RE: No more mommy's milk | Bye bye breastfeeding...
While formula can keep a child alive, it is not able to provide many of the important immune system protections as can breastmilk. Your oldest was fortunate indeed that you did breastfeed a little initially, as the colustrum contains antibodies and more that infants need to protect them from disease as their immune systems are not developed.
Good Job!
Yeah I know it's true, and I must say she was a strong baby from the start.. her weight was 4200 grams :) so she was able to even hold her head up from when she was born, which was quite remarkable.. her brother and sister were both smaller though.. and babies grow up anyway, with or without breastmilk, but if you are able to give it I think it's best to at least do that for a few months.. if everything works fine that is.. because not everyone is that fortunate.. I am happy I could give them that :)
