Between two worlds.

Normalize Breast Feeding!!! A custom-made supply Formula isn't able to change its constitution, but your breast milk morphs to meet your baby's changing needs.... Colostrumthe "premilk" that comes in after you deliveris chock-full of antibodies to protect your newborn baby. "It's also higher in protein and lower in sugar than 'full' milk, so even a small amount can hold off your baby's hunger," says Heather Kelly, an international board-certified lactation consultant in New York City and a member of the Bravado Breastfeeding Information Council's advisory board. When your full milk comes in (usually three to four days after delivery), it is higher in both sugar and volume than colostrumagain, just what your baby requires. "He needs a lot of calories and frequent feedings to fuel his rapid growth," Kelly explains. "Your mature milk is designed to be digested quickly so he'll eat often." More effective vaccines Research shows that breastfed babies have a better antibody response to vaccines than formula-fed babies. A menstruation vacation Breastfeeding your baby around the clockno bottles or formula will delay ovulation, which means delayed menstruation. "Breastfeeding causes the release of prolactin, which keeps estrogen and progesterone at bay so ovulation isn't triggered".
