IS BREASTFEEDING REALLY BENEFICIAL?

Well, yes.

From the beginning of time, women have been breastfeeding. Even today medical professionals agree, breastfeeding is the best first food for your baby.

Babies are born with very little defense against nature's diseases. Human milk is baby's first immunization. Each time you breastfeed, you are providing antibodies which protect your baby from many common respiratory infections and intestinal diseases.

Thousands of medical studies have been done on the differing health consequences of breastfeeding and formula feeding. The result is unanymous, breastfed babies are healthier and have fewer infection than formula fed babies.

Common illnesses that you may have while breastfeding such as colds, flu, skin infections or diarrhea should not be a concern for your nursing infant. During this time, your breastmilk  will contain antibodies that will help protect your baby from those same illnesses.
