Supplementing breastfeeding with formula is usually discouraged, although it may be helpful in cases where the mother is not producing an adequate supply of milk or the baby is not able to breastfeed well.
Formula feeding with a bottle is a valid, healthy choice for babies, too — either right from the start or after a period of nursing. If you’re concerned about your choice, try to separate the medical facts from the political and cultural rhetoric. Remember, the most important thing you can do for your baby is love and nurture her.
