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.
Breastfeeding helps you lose that extra weight you gained during pregnancy. Breastfeeding helps protect against cervical cancer and osteoporosis. Breastmilk is always available, needs no preparation, is always at the right temperature and needs no refrigeration or sterilization. Breastfed babies are easy to take with you, no need to take bottles etc. along. Night feedings are easier, no bottles to heat up.
