Question

My baby is just over a week old. If I stop breastfeeding, will my baby’s immunity be affected? I’m also a diabetic, and if I focus on breastfeeding, my blood sugar might get high. So I’m in a dilemma, should I wean or not?

Answer

Dear inquirer, based on your description, since you are unable to focus on breastfeeding due to health reasons, you can opt for artificial feeding methods. This way, you can still provide the necessary nutrients for your baby’s growth and development without excessive concerns.
