4 Advantages Of Breast Milk, It's never too early to start thinking about how you're going to feed your baby. But you don't have to make up your mind until your baby is born.
In the World, more than 73% of mothers start breastfeeding. These are some of the reasons why:
- Your breast milk is perfectly designed for your baby
- Breast milk protects your baby from infections and diseases
- Breastfeeding provides health benefits for you
- Breast milk is available for your baby whenever your baby needs it
- Breastfeeding can build a strong emotional bond between you and your baby
Formula milk doesn't provide the same protection from illness and doesn't give you any health benefits.
