Breastfeeding

 By Stacy DeBroff

Breast milk provides all the nutrients your baby needs, is easy to digest, and can reduce the incidence of allergic reactions. It also gives your baby a significant boost to the immune system.

Colostrum, the milk you produce for the first few days post-partum, like breast milk itself, is packed with antibodies and other protective substantives that continue to help your baby fight infection and ward off illness and disease. Colostrum has more protein and calories than regular breast milk and helps reduce the occurrence of ear infections and diarrhea.

Your body tailors your breast milk specifically to the unique nutritional needs of your baby. The milk's content changes based not only on the hour of the day, but based on your baby's age. Your baby receives exactly enough food and the perfect nutritional composition.
