Welcome to the Breast
Milk is Best website! Breast milk is the best food to feed a baby. Breast feeding not only provides many benefits for Mom and baby, but also for the whole family and society in general. There are also many risks involved when mother does not breastfeed her baby. Breast milk provides baby with about 200 factors, factors that are essential for baby to finish his development. Babies at birth are not finished with their development, they are much like baby kangaroos. Baby does not walk or talk, and every organ is still immature. It is very important that for at least the first six months your baby receive breast milk. With breast milk he receives strong health foundations that will permit him to have a long and healthy life. On the other hand, a baby that is fed with formula or artificial milk receives nutrients meant for an adult or a mammal that is already well developed. Here are just a few reasons to breastfeed! Benefits for Breastfeeding Mothers Burns between 300 and 500 calories daily. Helps prevent postpartum bleeding. Can protect from ovarian and breast cancer.
