With the right approach and a few good ideas, feeding a family on a budget is possible.

Whether parents breastfeed, use infant formula, or both, the authors of today's "Infant Feeding" article provide tips making it easier not only to feed your own child, but also to help other parents feeding their children too. Together we can create a community of mutual support!

Elizabeth Sutton's "Food and Nutrition for the Family" then looks at the broader picture, because infants aren't the only members of the family who need to eat. Many strategies for stretching your budget and getting the most out of your food dollars are explored.

These ideas will help you keep down the cost of nourishing your child, but the benefits will go far beyond your wallet. The meals that you share at home with family and friends can provide a foundation of healthy eating habits and healthy communication skills that your child will benefit from throughout life.
