Breast Feeding

Why Breastmilk is best

Breastmilk constantly changes adapting itself to the changing needs of the growing baby. So, as the baby grows, the milk adapts its composition to provide exactly the rights stuff for what is required during this specific stage of the babies development: in the first few weeks, when a baby grows quickly the milk contains more calories. This decreases as growth slowdown. Later, when a baby starts to crawl and learns to walk, the milk becomes again more energetic.

It decreases the incidence and/or severity of a wide range of infectious diseases including meningtitis, diarrhoea, respiratory tract infection, ear infection & uninary tract infection. But that’s not all : important health benefits of breastfeeding and lactation are also described for mothers.
