Because formula has a distinct odor and color to it, it is known to stain clothes and also leave everything that isn’t washed right away with a fowl odor, unlike breast milk ,which is odorless and virtually almost clear in color. As a result of all the downsides to formula I would hope more woman in the world opt to choose breastfeeding rather then formula.

Breastfeeding has many pluses, the bond created between mother and baby is very special. Breastfeeding brings so many benefits such as it contains antibodies that decrease infant’s risk of infections, diarrhea, allergies, asthma, SIDS, diabetes and certain cancers.
I would like to have conducted a more in depth discussion with these girls about the benefits of breast feeding versus bottle feeding and educate them on the pros and cons and then do a study to see how many would breast or bottle feed.

Maternal risks of a multi-fetal pregnancy include hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and postpartum hemorrhage (Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction, 2013).

Newborns whose mothers drank and received a brief intervention compared to mothers who did not drink showed no difference in birth weight. This shows that the intervention was successful and that those mothers did not continue to drink after they find out the outcomes of prenatal drinking.

If the girl was on birth control at the time, a child may not have to be born, lessening the stress to the already chaotic situation. The choice should, ultimately, be up to the girl. After all, it is her body. Birth control could also possibly reduce the pregnancy rate among young teens.
