Why Organic?
There are some excellent reasons to feed organic food and formula to your precious children to ensure they get the best possible start in life, the most obvious being:
- Organic farms use neither chemicals nor pesticides.
- Organic milk is healthier
- The livestock are raised in a better environment free from GMO grain and growth hormones.
- Organic farming bans the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
There are many opinions on whether to breastfeed or formula feed. One thing is certain - you need to do what feels best for you and your baby.
Breast is best, but bottle feeding is also an option
Although breast feeding is best for your child, there may be instances where this is not possible or through personal preference, you choose to bottle feed. Don't worry, there are also advantages to bottle feeding:
- If your baby is battling to get into an eat/sleep pattern, bottle feeding may help to establish a schedule.
- Dad can become involved in feeding, which promotes father-baby bonding while giving mum a chance to rest.
- It is convenient as baby can be fed anywhere, anytime, by anyone.
- Mum does not have to worry about what she eats as sometimes certain foods she consumes cannot be easily tolerated by baby.
- Keeping a record of baby's intake is easy so you know how much he is taking in at a feed.
