Eating well during pregnancy and while breastfeeding can help with milk supply and give you the energy you need, but we also know it’s not always that simple. If you make the tough decision not to breastfeed, or wish to introduce bottle feeding exclusively, or as a supplementary form of nourishment, we recommend you seek advice from your midwife or health care professional for individual advice for your baby.  Just keep in mind that once breast milk supply drops, it can be hard to build it back up again. There can also be some lifestyle and financial changes that come with switching to formula.

If you do choose a breast milk alternative, always follow the preparation instructions as directed. Babies have delicate little tummies, so where you can, introduce formula gradually. The transition guide included on our page can help with this. We encourage you to thoroughly research your options before making the decision to replace breastmilk with formula. 

At mumamoo, our purpose is to provide a trusted alternative form of nourishment for babies and toddlers. But more than that, we understand the pressure, the questions and sometimes the guilt that can come with feeding decisions. Please know — you’re doing your best, and that is more than enough.
