My topic is going to be breast milk and why it is better than infant formula. I chose this topic to research the differences in breast milk and infant formula and to gain knowledge about the benefits of breast milk. I have seven children in which the last four have been breastfed and I am currently breastfeeding my youngest child. I have read articles about the importance of breastfeeding but ironically, I have never researched the benefits of breast milk. I am trying to decide whether to start weaning him now or to continue nursing until he turns two; so hopefully, this research will help with my decision. Also, I mentor a lot of pregnant service members and I would like to give them more informed information other than my personal experiences.
