Is Bottle Feeding Bad for a Baby?

__Claim No. 1: Artificial feeding interferes with the formation of an emotional bond between mother and baby__ It does not matter for the mother-child relationship whether the baby drinks breast milk or formula, as long as the mother is not distracted, concentrates on the baby, and surrounds the baby with attention and care during the breastfeeding process. __Claim No. 2: The immunity of formula babies is weakened__ A baby's immunity depends more on genetics, living conditions, hygiene, and more. Of course, while the baby is suckling, ===he or she gets immunoglobulins with the mother's milk, which strengthen the immune system and help to resist viruses. But when the baby stops breastfeeding, his or her body will have to adapt to the new conditions and an active form of the immune system will begin. The baby will inevitably encounter various diseases so that in the future the body can withstand them. Bottle-fed babies simply pass this stage in the beginning. __Claim No. 3: Artificially-fed babies have digestive problems__ There are a wide variety of baby formulas available, including many premium, high-quality formulas designed specifically to meet the physiological needs of infants. If there is a problem with digestion, it means that the formula is not optimal for the child. In this case, ask your pediatrician for help to find the right formula rather than select one on your own. __Claim No. 4: Bottle-fed children are more likely to suffer from allergies__ This is indeed possible, as the baby's body gets foreign components and his or her immune system is not yet ready for them. However, breastfed babies can also get allergens through breast milk if the mother ingests them. __Claim No. 5: Artificial feeding provokes the development of various diseases in the future__ Unfortunately, not all breast milk substitutes (BMS) are of high quality. Some manufacturers add palm oil or sugar to the product. You really should not give this kind of formula to your baby, so it is important to carefully read the contents of the product. Quality formulas are balanced and full of all the minerals and vitamins your baby needs. __Claim. No. 6: Nothing is healthier than breast milk for the newborn__ This is true. However, it does not mean that formula is bad. It also does not mean that moms, to the detriment of health and sanity, should breastfeed, or feel guilty for not being able to do so.
