Breastfeeding

Your milk is baby's perfect food

Did you know Breast milk provides your baby with special immunity against illness for the first few precious months of his/her life? Here are a few more great reasons to breastfeed!

Breast milk is always warm and ready to use
Increases the bonding between Mom and Baby
Breastmilk contains Colostrum, which is vitally important to a newborn baby during it's first few weeks of life
Breast milk is more digestible than formula
Decreases baby's chances of developing allergies
Decreases baby diarrhea
Baby has milder bowel movements
Formula is expensive!
Breastmilk already comes with the proper amount of fat, carbohydrates and protein
No bottles to carry around

Babies who are breastfed for at least 6 months have fewer health problems than babies who are artificially fed, including:

3 times fewer ear infections
5 times fewer urinary tract infections
5 times fewer serious illnesses
7 times fewer allergies
