The Benefits of Breastfeeding for Baby & for Mom

Breast milk provides abundant and easily absorbed nutritional components, antioxidants, enzymes, immune properties, and live antibodies from mother. Mother’s more mature immune system makes antibodies to the germs to which she and her baby have been exposed. These antibodies enter her milk to help protect her baby from illness. Immunoglobulin A coats the lining of the baby’s immature intestines helping germs and allergens from leaking through. Breast milk also contains substances that naturally soothe infants.

Breastfed babies have:
1. Stronger immune systems.

2. Less diarrhea, constipation, gastroenteritis, gastroesophageal reflux, and preterm necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).

3. Fewer colds and respiratory illnesses like pneumonia, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and whooping cough.

4. Fewer ear infections, especially those that damage hearing.

5.Fewer case of bacterial meningitis
Better vision and less retinopathy of prematurity.
