Benefits
- Breastmilk is superior infant food. It contains all
the necessary nutrients in the right proportions for the ideal growth
and development of your baby.

him natural immunity to viruses and bacterial infections. The early
milk called "colostrum" is especially rich in certain nutrients and
infection-fighting substances.
- Breastmilk is sterile, easy to digest, and always
served at the perfect temperature.
- Breastfeeding promotes jaw, teeth and speech development,
and enhances your baby's brain growth.
- Breastfeeding reduces the risk of obesity.
- Breastfeeding provides early visual and physical
contact, and enhances critical early bonding of baby and parent that
lasts a lifetime.
