What should a mother do if she can not breastfeed?
If a mother can not breastfeed, there are a few options. If you wish to continue with breast milk, you can look into breast milk banks. If you are able to produce breast milk, but can't get baby to latch, you may be able to pump! Check with a lactation nurse! I highly recommend trying to breastfeed, because breast milk is truly best. IF you can not breastfeed, and the other options will not work for you either, you can use infant formula like Parent's Choice from Walmart, Up & Up from Target, and other brands. If you do choose to use formula, keep in mind that using a store brand, over the highly marketed name brands will save you up to 50% off the price of those national brands. The store brands are nutritionally equal to the more expensive brands, thanks to the Infant Formula Act of 1980, all infant formulas must be created nutritionally equal, so you can save money and not worry about your baby getting the nutrients he/she needs.
