I just turned over!! What's going down??

she did a 10 minute bite looking between the effects of breastfeeding and formula. The programme is actually referring to child development it's quite good actually (but as a trainin teacher i love this stuff!!)

On the milk feeding...she put breastfeeding through to her nursery . Apparently formula feeding gives 15-20% extra calories than breastmilk because of all the extra additives. Thats a lot when it's 6-8 feeds a day!

I carried on watching it - it's good!

it wasn't available to play when i looked but i guess thats because it had only just finished on tv. Glad she put breastfeeding through but she didn't answer the ulitmate question of how long you should feed for
