Why Breastfeed Your
Baby?
|
|
|
Breastfeeding is the natural and best way to feed your baby. Breastmilk is the prefect food, and contains everything a baby needs to thrive: water (the main component), proteins, fat, carbohydrates, minerals such as iron, and vitamins, antibodies and live sells that protect your baby's health. Breastfeeding also significantly protects a mother's health. Research clearly shows that breastmilk has special, important benefits for both mother and baby. These health benefits are ongoing both in infancy and as a child grows. Breastfeeding is superior to and is far less expensive than artificial baby milk. We agree with health care providers in strongly encouraging mothers to breastfeed their babies. If you have questions, need more information, or need help with breastfeeding or milk expression, seek advice from and IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), a local La Leche League Leader, a Nursing Mothers Counsel volunteer or your health care provider. |
