Yes i agree with Yuna, the best doctor you can give your baby is a a healthy immune system and breast milk is the best food for baby as least for the first 6 months. WHO encourages bf up to 2 yrs. breastfeeding is a bittersweet journey to enjoy with your LO. Babies are smart, if yours is latching, first bb wont starve themselves and neither overfeed. My first was a big baby while 2nd one small so the weight gain isnt a good indication. As long as bb is healthy gaining weight and happy. our parents generation are brain washed to think formula are better so dont be beaten by their comments. You must be happy and not dread feeding baby too. Enjoy
