Brestfeeding vs. Bottle feeding

Breastfeeding vs. Formula feeding                 

There are perks to both of these ways to feeding your child. Either is fine  but I am going to try and show you why breastfeeding should be recommend to every new. There are many advantages to breastfeeding your baby along with many advantages to formula feeding. 

                          Breastfeeding                                                          Formula Feeding

                                                                 Nutrition

	Perfect balance of nutrients	Not as efficiently utilized as breast milk
	Contains high levels of nutrients	Nutritional content depends on proper preparation
	Easily digested and absorbed	Some babies have difficulty tolerating certain nutrients
	Content varies according to milk production stage, which meets the changing nutritional requirements	Pediatrician/care-giver determines amount
	Infant determines amount                                                            

Breastfeeding has many good things that help with "Infection-fighting antibodies passed from a nursing mother to her baby can help lower the occurrence of many conditions, including; ear infections, diarrhea, respiratory infections, and meningitis. A breastfed baby has easier digestion than a formula fed baby.

Costs of Breastfeeding vs formula feeding

With breastfeeding you do not have to pay for any bottles or cleaning products for the bottles. You only need you, baby and your breast. While with formula, you need bottles, formula, measuring equipment, and cleaning products for bottles.

Starting a career as a young mom

   People always judge teen mothers and say that they are ruining their lives and can never have a good career. But why should there negativity and you having a child young affect you having a career and being able to support your beautiful new child(ren). It shouldn't affect that one bit! As a young mother you should be encouraged more to go to college and to prove statistics wrong.
    Statistics say that 80% of women who have babies when they are teens spend at least part of their life dependent on welfare, and they have serious disadvantages in achieving financial success and independence in life, largely due to their lack of education.  They also say that the children are less likely to become successful and be financially stable. They are wrong though! My child motivates me to go and start a career so i can show her that you can always overcome the difficult times.
