Today the news reported that water in Japan has radiation in it. Can you imagine being a formula feeding mom and needing water for your baby's bottle? Yikes! One of the greatest benefits of breastfeeding is that your body knows what to put it it.
Breastfeeding is convenient and sanitary. No bottles to wash and pack or water to add. It's always the right temperature and as long as you keep doing it you won't run out!
Drugs and alcohol can be dangerous. Anything that passes the blood/brain barrier can usually get into your milk.
A comprehensive resource for information about medications and breastfeeding is the Infant Risk Center.
