Hello, world! 👶

BREASTFEEDING YOUR BABY IS THEIR BEST HEADSTART TO LIFE

1) Breast milk contains live immunity. When a baby consumes breast milk, he or she receives both immediate and lifelong immunities.

2) Breast milk provides the specific nutrients that meet your baby’s needs. It’s pretty amazing: Your milk supply will fluctuate based on your baby’s demand. Your baby will communicate what she needs from your body, and your body will then produce the quality and quantity of milk to meet those requirements.

3) Breastfeeding can reduce your baby’s risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). While the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that mothers breastfeed for at least one year, research shows that breastfeeding as little as two months cuts the risk of SIDS in half.

4) Breastfeeding allows babies to feel close to the “home base” that they’ve known while in the womb. Hearing your heartbeat and feeling your warm skin will help her transition from the inner world to the outer world.

5) Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in breast milk, helps support proper brain development.

6) Breastfeeding can reduce your baby’s risk of developing middle ear infections.

7) Breastfeeding can reduce your baby’s chances of developing allergies.

8 ) Breastfeeding can reduce your baby’s risk of developing diabetes, since breast milk contains no artificial sugar.
