Breastfeeding is the best for babies and a healthy diet / maternal nutrition is important when breastfeeding. A decision not to breastfeed can be difficult to reverse. Infant formula is suitable from birth when babies are not breastfed. It is recommended that all formula milks be used on the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian, pharmacist, or other professional responsible for maternal and child care and the financial implications should be considered. All preparation and feeding instructions should be followed carefully as inappropriate preparation could lead to health hazards.

"Before I had a child, I shook my head when I saw parents giving ipad or iphone to their child to entertain them. Now as a parent, I feel that it's Godsend!!! I think that as long as they are not watching nonsense or gaming non-stop, I feel that it's ok. Especially when we need to dine in peace outisde. I also find it's the child's character. Some kids are milder, so whatever the parents say, they will obey. My girl is not. so she won't listen to me."

"I also tend to succumb to distraction using iphone.. but I also try to get her to play with other toys too when I'm not occupied. Kids like new things, so if they see an interesting toy, they'll soon forget about the iphone for awhile. The device can be full of useful apps but in the end, it's still just one way of learning."
