Nursing also helps new mothers lose weight more easily as more calories are burned during milk production. Nursing promotes better health in children for many reasons, but the consensus is that the main reason is that man cannot mimic the protein and nutrients that Allah has provided in a mother's milk. Even more of them are being discovered each year. Just a month ago, yet another nutrient was found - a soluble protein called C14 which stimulates the development of B cells, immune cells made in the bone marrow and key to the production of antibodies. The devastating effects of substituting cow's milk for human milk are most evident in developing countries.
Human milk is rich in all the nutrients that the human body requires for proper development.
As well, once cow's milk is processed, its immunology factors are destroyed. In Brazil, where medical care is not readily available, an artificially fed baby is 14 times more likely to die than an exclusively breast fed baby, and at least four times more likely to die than an infant receiving both mother's milk and formula. In Pakistan, a largely Muslim country, advocates for nursing are very outspoken. Developing countries, however, have another concern with the increase in formula-fed children. Exclusive nursing actually helps to curb overpopulation by postponing the return of a woman's menses following childbirth.
