The Choice Is Yours Feeding your baby will be one of the most satisfying experiences of early parenthood. It's a time to be close, to nurture and communicate with your baby in your own special way. Whether you feed your baby from the breast or bottle is your decision. Mothers choose each method for different reasons. Breast-feeding has many advantages.
Breast milk is the perfect food for a baby.
It is easy for babies to digest, resulting in less problems with the digestive tract. It provides immunities to various infections, so breast-fed babies generally have fewer respiratory illnesses, ear infections, diarrhea and other problems. They also have less trouble with allergies and no baby is allergic to breast milk. Breast-feeding encourages optimum jaw development. Best of all, breast milk is safe and tailored to each individual baby.
