I've stayed away from posting on this thread since the begining lol but with all the debate on this topic on BnB and my own pediatrician being sort of on the fence with it and instead basing her recommendation on each each individual baby and their specific needs, I have done a good amount of research lately. Like Summer Rain said, it seemed to me the the US guidlines tend to focus on EBF for the first six months and it's actually hard to find if they feel differently about a formula fed baby, which I must say is frustrating.
yea that's why all this debate about waiting six months really gets me. I formula feed too and my dr instructed at four months to do so.
I think it has to do with BM changing to meet babies needs whereas formula is the same throughout. IF that's the case than formula isn't enough for some babies after 4 months. Just my opinion, most of my nutrition research was based on EBF as well.
