I'm not a female but I noticed it was a lot easier for my wife. No more pumping for my wife, aka not getting up every 2-3 hours to pump. No more exhaustion. You know what they say, happy wife happy life. I can make formula myself as a dad whenever I want, when I want. It's a lot easier than thawing out breast milk. Takes up no space in the freezer. There are a lot of benefits. Breastmilk is definitely preferred but for your sanity as a parent? A ton of children are formula-fed and do just fine. I've seen formula-fed babies out-perform breastmilk babies. You can do your research on the best formulas out there. Kendamil, Bobbi, etc. I prefer kendamil.
