Baby breastfeeding is good.
Breastmilk is the most natural food, and the ratio of some nutrients in breastmilk is more favorable for babies to absorb, which contributes to better growth and development; breastmilk has a large amount of immunoglobulin, which can increase the baby’s immunity and improve the body’s resistance. Breastfed babies are usually less likely to get sick within 6 months for this reason.
Breastfeeding also enhances the bond between mom and baby. When breastfeeding, mom and baby will have an interaction and eye contact, which will help the child’s cognitive and other abilities to develop in the future.
Therefore, it is best to breastfeed when possible. Only when breastmilk is insufficient, or if the mother has a special disease that prevents her from breastfeeding, can she choose formula milk on medical advice.
Therefore, the World Health Organization recommends that infants be exclusively breastfed for the first six months, and that complementary foods be gradually added for mixed feeding from seven months to two years of age.
