In this episode, we delve into a common dilemma faced by expectant parents: choosing between breastfeeding and formula-feeding.
We discuss a scenario involving a 28-year-old pregnant woman nearing her due date who is seeking advice on infant feeding methods. While she's heard about the benefits of breastfeeding, conflicting advice, specifically from her mother, who believes formula-fed babies grow better, has left her uncertain.
We explore the advantages and disadvantages of both breastfeeding and formula-feeding. The discussion highlights important considerations, such as the fact that weight gain is not the sole criterion for success in the first year, and excessive weight gain can be harmful later.
We also cover the crucial steps involved in safe formula-feeding preparation. This episode aims to provide insightful information to help navigate these important decisions.

Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
