Formula is so inadequate, especially for brain health/growth. Breastfeeding is normal and biologically appropriate. It is especially important for nurses to follow these Best Practice Guidelines, and understand the risks of formula, as they have great influence on mothers' breastfeeding practices in the first weeks. What is done in the first 40 days is critical to long term breastfeeding success. I am encouraged by this report.

I breastfed both of my children for two years each and often had to explain why I was 'still' breastfeeding such big kids. Well done RNAO. So glad to hear this!
