Breast Milk Is The Best Milk.

Breast milk is the milk produced by the mammary glands of a human female for her infant offspring for nutrition before the offspring is able to eat and digest other foods.

Breast feeding is something that is totally natural and should not need recommendation or suggestion to mothers before using. So how did we get to the level of being convinced to breast feed babies exclusively for the first few months when it was the norm before?

There is nothing equal to breast milk for a human baby in the first four months of life because nature designed it as the best nutrition for a baby. Breast milk is the best nutritional choice meal for infants especially in the first six months of their existence because it comes with nutrition, for easy digestion and antibodies which protect the child plus strengthen its immune system.

Baby formula came into being in the nineteenth century (1865) to replace wet nursing. Infant formula is a healthy alternative that is sometimes necessary to give an infant especially in situations in which the mother has passed on or the mother is not available for other reasons. It should however be an alternative and not first choice as is the trend now.

If the mother is not going to be available for just a few hours, breast milk can be expressed and refrigerated for the child.

There is nothing better than what nature has designed. Breast milk remains the best milk.
