Breastfeed versus Bottle-Feeder

Here are some advantage and disadvantage of breastfeed and bottle-feeder


Breastfeed Formula
  • Wherever you are, all the nourishment your baby needs is always ready and waiting
  • A nursing mother may worry that her newborn isn't getting enough to eat
  • The nursing mother's wardrobe is not as limited as it was when she was pregnant
  • A breastfeeding mother has to limit her choice of contraception to those methods that are safe during lactation.
  • Mother can't have their diet, because of calories milk production requires.
  • Nursing mother may receive curious glances when she choose to breastfeed in public
  • For some breastfeeding women, a vagina left dry by the hormonal changes of lactation, teamed with sore nipples and leaky breasts, can make lovemaking a challenge.
  • Breast milk is free
  • No bottles to buy, formula or nipples
  • Breastmilk contains all the nutrition an infant needs in the necessary amounts and in forms readily absorbed by the body. The composition of breastmilk even changes to adapt to the changing needs of the growing infant.

  • Formula feeding doesn't tie the mother to baby day and night
  • The bottle-feeding mother has no such problem whether their newborn eat enough or not. A glance at the bottle tells her exactly what she wants to know.
  • A bottle-feeding mother can dress as she pleases.
  • The formula-feeding mom has no restriction when it comes to contraception.
  • Mother can stop eating for two
  • No one will look twice at a women bottle feeding her baby.
  • For the bottle-feeding mother, once she's received from delivery, nothing need stand between her and her mate.
  • Formula can be expensive
  • Need to buy bottles, formula, nipples, brush, bottle soap, etc.
  • Babies who are formula-fed are also more prone to: asthma; allergies; childhood cancers; Type 1 diabetes (during childhood and later in life); cardiovascular disease; obesity; gastrointestinal infections; ear infections; and, exposure to environmental contaminants (whereas breastmilk counteracts the adverse effects of pollutants)
  • Some infant formula brands have been withdrawn from the market due to either deficient or excessive amounts of certain nutrients, with life-threatening results.
