Infant nutrition, in its optimum form, is the task of the mother and baby. Interfering with breastfeeding, comes with the risks of sick children, or suboptimally nourished infants.

Here’s seven reasons to rethink that first bottle:

1. Formulas vary from batch to batch, so you have no real guarantee of ingredients.
2. Formulas are made using other animal proteins - Imagine building a human baby using, baby cow blocks
3. Feeding your child formula, even once, permanently alters the intestinal flora - for the worse. Your child may lose the ability to filter out toxins.
4. Formula tins have known to be contaminated with heavy metals, foreign objects, bacteria, and all sorts of stuff you wouldn’t want to feed your baby.
5. Formula companies profit greatly from the mostly innaccurate myth of “Insufficient Milk Supply” in mothers.
6. Supplementing with formula can REDUCE your supply. And effectively put the kybosh on your breastfeeding relationship.
7. Many babies are allergic, or intollerant to the ingredients in formula.

Babies are born to be breastfed, and all things being equal, breast is by far best.
