	Breastfeeding vs. Formula Feeding
		The decision to breastfeed or formula feed your baby should be based on your comfort level with breastfeeding as well as your lifestyle.
		Breast milk is the ideal form of nutrition for newborns, but for mothers who are unable to breastfeed or who decide not to, infant formula is a good alternative.
		Likewise, women who breastfeed are less likely to have to take time off from work to care for their sick babies.

		Still, the decision about whether to breastfeed or not must ultimately reside with the parents of the newborn, and not with health care practitioners or child-welfare agencies.
		In other words, while it is surely appropriate to use the law to protect the infant from outsiders with conflicting interests, it is not reasonable to use the law to compel an unwilling mother to breastfeed or to abstain from breastfeeding if she so chooses.
		The current, prevailing view among human-rights experts is that women must remain free to feed their infants as they wish, presumably in consultation with other family members; and that outsiders are obligated to refrain from doing anything that might interfere with a freely made, informed decision.
