Breastfeeding is generally good for your child, but it is not recommended to exclusively breastfeed for a long period of time. Children should gradually increase complementary foods from 6 months of age.
Breastmilk contains natural immune substances that can strengthen the baby’s immunity. It has a relatively high content of lactose, which is good for the development of the nervous system. It contains high levels of cysteine and aminotaurine, which can promote the development of the child’s brain. Therefore, it is generally good for the body for the child to eat breast milk.
However, it should be noted that, as the child’s body develops, the nutrients in breast milk can no longer meet its growth and development, and if the child is fed only breast milk for a long time, the child can suffer from malnutrition, anemia and other symptoms. Therefore, after 6 months of age, it is necessary to add complementary foods, such as pureed vegetables and meat, and other soft foods in a gradual and step-by-step manner, in order to enhance the child’s nutrition.
