Breastfeeding
BREASTFEEDING
Breast milk is the best food for most babies. It has the perfect mix of nutrients and is gentle on your baby’s developing stomach. Breast milk has vitamins and minerals for proper nutrition, growth factors that help with infant growth and development, and antibodies that help babies fight off infections. Babies who are breastfed have lower risk of ear infections, asthma, allergies, and obesity; and breastfeeding reduces mother’s risk of certain cancers, diabetes and heart disease.
