Fed is Best
This celebrates the unpaid labour of breastfeeding. But fed IS best - breast, bottle, combination, or any method that nourishes your baby. There's no shame in any feeding choice. All feeding parents are doing an incredible job.
How it's calculated
- Time value = average female wage in your country
- Formula costs = typical weekly infant formula expenses
- Equipment = typical one-time supply costs
- Milk production = exclusive feeding only
