Cons: Very expensive in price; use with the advice of a pediatrician only.
Summary: While there is little debate that breastmilk is ideally the perfect form of nutrition for newborn infants, sometimes new parents are either unable to breastfeed successfully, are in need of an artificial means of supplementation on occasion, or...

Pros: Worked wonders: contented baby!
Cons: Like everyone has said, the expense, but so totally worth it since it works!

Cons: So Unbelievably Expensive...especially if you have more than one on bottles.
