My Baby Is Not Formula Fed. Stop Pushing Formula Feeding Norms On Us.

No, my breastfed baby doesn’t need 9oz bottles. No, he’s not ‘behind’ because he doesn’t chug 5oz at a time. He’s fed from a breast, not a factory.

Breastfed babies don’t follow formula-fed volume charts — and that’s not only okay, it’s biologically expected.

Formula intake volumes are based on artificial feeding norms.

Breastfed babies regulate differently — smaller, more frequent feeds.

Why pediatric standards should distinguish between feeding types (but rarely do).
