Breast Milk is the Best Milk

Why breast milk is the best milk:
There are many reasons why breast milk is the best milk, including the
following:

nutrients
Human survival depends more on brain power than on strong muscles,
rapid growth (rapid maturity), or body size, so your milk is rich in
the nutrients that best promote brain growth and nervous system
development. Research has found that breastfed babies perform better
on different kinds of intelligence tests as they grow older. They also
develop better eye function. This is due mostly to certain types of
fat (fatty acid chains) in human milk, which are not available in
artificial formulas.

The sugar (carbohydrate) and protein in breast milk are also designed
to be used easily and more completely by the human baby. Your milk is
the perfect first food to help your baby achieve every aspect of ideal
growth and development.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies who are
exclusively breastfed receive additional vitamin D. Your baby's
physician can recommend the proper type and amount of vitamin D
supplement for your baby.

**anti-infective properties**
**Only human milk is alive with many different kinds of disease-
fighting factors that help prevent mild to severe infections. Babies
who are fully or almost-fully breastfed, or breast milk-fed babies,
have significantly fewer gastrointestinal, respiratory, ear, and
urinary infections. Antibodies in human milk directly protect against
infection. Other anti-infective factors create an environment that is
friendly to "good" bacteria, referred to as "normal flora," and
unfriendly to "bad" bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Human milk also
appears to have properties that help a baby's own immune system work
best. If your baby does become ill when breastfeeding and receiving
your milk, the infection is likely to be less severe.**

easily digested
Since nature designed human milk for human babies, your milk is the
most easily digested food your baby can receive. A nutritious, yet
easily digested first food is important for a baby's immature
digestive tract. Your baby uses less energy, yet breaks your milk down
more completely into its basic ingredients, so the nutrients, anti-
infective factors, and all the other ingredients in your milk are more
available to fuel your baby's body functions and to promote your
baby's growth and development.

bio-availability
Bio-availability is a fancy way of referring to how well the body can
use the nutrients in a food. The high bio-availability of nutrients in
human milk means your baby gets more benefits from the nutrients it
contains - even for nutrients that appear in lower levels in breast
milk when compared to artificial formulas (because your baby's body
can absorb and use them most effectively). It also means your baby
saves the energy that would be needed to eliminate any nutrients he/
she had difficulty digesting or using.

suitability
Your milk is best suited to, and so it is more gentle on, your baby's
body systems. The suitability of your milk plays a role in your milk's
digestibility, and it allows your baby's body to function most
efficiently while spending a lot less energy on body functions.
Suitability is also thought to be one reason that breastfed babies are
less likely to develop allergic-related skin conditions and asthma.

The digestibility, bio-availability, and suitability of your milk
means that your baby's body is able to work less yet receive more
nourishment.

Smarter Babies

Studies have shown children whose mothers consume fish oil score about
four IQ points higher on tests. And breast-fed children score up to
five points higher.
