          Things to think about now

          The truth about stretch marks.

          Will they stay or will they go? That is the question. The truth is, whether or not you get stretch marks has more to do with heredity than any other factor.
          Will they stay or will they go? That is the question. The truth is, whether or not you get stretch marks has more to do with heredity than any other factor.

          The appearance of stretch marks does not mean that you’re gaining too much weight – as they can appear on the slimmest of pregnant women! After your baby is born, your stretch marks may fade to light pink or white, but they may or may not disappear completely.

          Breastfeeding Disclaimer 

          Breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. When thinking of using infant formula, a mother should be aware of

          1. the financial and social implications of formula feeding,
          2. the difficulty of reversing the decision not to breastfeed and
          3. the care that must be taken to prevent partial formula feeding from interfering with lactation.

          In addition, proper preparation of powder or concentrated liquid infant formula requires the use of boiled water for the purposes of mixing formula and cleaning implements and the manufacturer’s mixing instructions must always be followed. Improper mixing or preparation may make a baby sick. A healthcare professional should always be consulted before initiating formula feeding.
