                        The best sites for information are: www.breastfeeding.com ,www.lalecheleague.org and www.bfmed.org.  The best books in my opinion are: The nursing mothers companion and The womanly art of breastfeeding.    You should not be giving your newborn formula supplements.  Your colostrum is the perfect food for his/her little body.  It helps pass the meconium, where formula does not.  Giving your baby formula will end up in you not producing enough milk.    In a society that believes that formula is equal to mom's milk, you need to educate yourself (and other's) about breastfeeding.
