Feeding your newborn baby is one of your main contributions to his normal growth and well being. When you breastfeed your baby, you are providing him with the best possible infant food. But breastfeeding provides more than the best nutrition. Through this special bond with the mother, the baby learns to receive love and will grow to be a person who can love in return. Breastmilk is easily digested and breastfed babies are very rarely constipated.
Breastfed babies have fewer allergies.
Breastmilk contains Taurine, an amino acid, which contributes to optimal brain growth. Breastmilk is constantly changing in its composition as baby grows, to meet the changing needs of the baby. It contains all the right ingredients your baby needs to grow well and to develop. It is the only food needed for your baby until he is about 6 months old. Breastfed babies are at less risk for juvenile diabetes and crohn's disease.
