| | Infant formula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Though infant formula is available without a prescription, it is generally recommended that its use be under the supervision of a medical professional. | | | This ubiquitous image leads some people to believe that bottles and infant formula are necessary to parenting an infant, whether or not this is true in an individual case. | | | A mother's breast milk changes in response to the feeding habits of her baby and over time, thus adjusting to the infant's individual growth and development. |

| | Formula for Disaster |
| | And because of this, parents who routinely approach other important infant health and safety issues in a thoughtful, deliberate way are largely unaware that in epidemiological terms, the decision to formula-feed when breast-feeding is an option places their child at demonstrably higher risk for a wide variety of ailments. | | | A large-scale study of physicians' knowledge of human lactation in a 1995 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that the most important factor influencing the effectiveness and accuracy of a doctor's breast-feeding advice to patients was whether the doctor herself, or the doctor's wife, had breast-fed her children. | | | When the overall health of formula-fed infants in the U.S. is compared to that of breast-fed infants -- even after controlling for variables such as parents' socioeconomic backgrounds -- it becomes clear that formula-fed babies are sicker, sick more often, and are more likely to die in infancy or childhood. |

| | Artificially fed infants with heart defects requiring surgery are less likely to live until their surgery and less likely to recover from surgery's challenges. | | | Formula-fed infants demonstrated many episodes of inadequate oxygenation and some apnea, both of which were not seen among the breastfed infants. | | | While the dangers of formula feeding aren't something you're likely to hear in your doctor's office, the conclusions can be derived through an examination of the available scientific research on infant mortality in the United States and across the world. |

| | Sometimes it may be necessary to change the kind of formula that your baby drinks. | | | Extreme fussiness, certain food allergies, or a need for more iron are some of the reasons why your baby's formula may need to be changed. | | | If you're concerned about your baby's stool habits or about the color or consistency of the stool, changing his or her formula isn't necessarily the answer. |

| | For each woman, the decision to breastfeed or bottle-feed infant formula is a very personal decision based on many things, including personal or family experiences, whether or not you are going back to work, and whether your baby has special needs. | | | However, there are women who have problems breastfeeding due to health conditions or other personal circumstances and need to feed their babies or supplement with infant formula. | | | After you weigh all the factors in your life that will affect your decision, remember that breastfeeding, for even a short amount of time, can benefit your baby, you, and your family. |

| | Keep in mind that formula does come with its own set of risks, and every mother needs to be aware of those so she can make a truly informed decision on whether to use it or not. | | | The use of formula can, and often does, sabatage and/or shorten the nursing relationship, not to mention the various health risks. | | | If you are concerned about your health, or that of your child, consult with your health care provider regarding the advisability of any opinions or recommendations with respect to your individual situation. |
