Best Thing About Breast Milk That Mothers Should Know
Friday, November 23rd, 2007There’s a lot of amazing information about breast milk that mothers don’t know. Breast milk has been considered as a living biological fluid that contains nutrients proportionate to your baby’s needs. What is best about it, is that it changes with the baby’s dietary requirement as he grows. During the first few days of breastfeeding, the mother’s milk is composed mainly of colostrum which has antibodies that increase baby’s immunity and protect the intestines. With colostrum, the child is given a head start in terms of physical well being. Colostrum prevents common cases of middle ear infections, stomach, flu and pneumonia. It also protects babies from allergies, as well as asthma and eczema.
