Breastfeeding: best for babies

"Isulong ang breastifeeding, sa isipan isalin, para malusog si baby sa kanyang paglaki, kaya ikaw mommy, kumain ng healthy. You're on the right track mommy. Go,go lang for baby!." One of the few lines in our nutrijingle in the tune of Born this Way.                                                                                                          
Breastfeeding is the process of feeding a new born baby with milk directly from the breast milk of human females that provides  all the nutrients that a baby needs, as well as the substances that promote growth and help fight infection. Breast milk has the perfect combination of proteins, fats, vitamins, and carbohydrates. There is nothing better than breast milk for the health of a new born baby. As the infants immune system grows better, the concentration of antibodies and anti infection as the milk gradually declines. If the baby will have his/her milk from his mother, the infant will become stronger and  healthier. Colostrum is the first breast milk that the infant take from the mammary gland of a mother. It is also contains antibodies from the mothers immune system that will help the infant fight off infections and diseases. They said that it is a yellowish liquid, which contains less fat and lactose. What the mother will intake ,it is also the food that the infant will get. The breast milk has lots of nutritional value.

The mother wants her baby to be healthy because he is a gift given by God. She must secure the health of the baby. For him to grow strong and healthy. If a mother gives breast milk to her baby, more likely there is stronger bond between the mother and the baby.  The child is not prone to diseases    and has a stronger immune system. There is a possibility that the child will grow healthy. Breast milk is indeed the best for babies.
