Finding Out About Breastfeeding

Posted on Tuesday, 12 January 2010 07:35PM by babyandpregnancy.co.uk

Breastfeeding is the most natural way of feeding your baby. Breast milk is packed with essential nutrients to give your baby a good start in life and, best of all, there are benefits for you too.

Breastfeeding your baby is one of the key ways in which you can bond with your baby from an early age. It allows you to develop both physical and emotional bonds and ensure your baby is being fed well. It's the method that the government promote as best, ideally for the first six months of your baby's life, so it's well worth giving it a try.



Breast Milk Is Best For Baby

Breast milk is packed with numerous nutrients and it also contains vital antibodies that offer key health benefits. For example, research has shown that babies who are breastfed are less likely to experience ear infections, chest infections, urine infections, gastro-intestinal infections, obesity and childhood diabetes. It also seems that breast milk can reduce the risk of developing allergic conditions such as the skin condition eczema and asthma.
In addition, some research shows that breast fed babies may help IQ too, scoring 5-10 points higher on standardised IQ tests.
