The document outlines several advantages for babies who are breastfed rather than bottle fed. It states that breastfeeding strengthens the bond between mother and baby as the baby is always close. Breastmilk contains the optimal nutrients for a baby's development including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. Breastfeeding may reduce health risks for the baby such as allergies, constipation, obesity, dental caries, cot deaths, infections and certain diseases. It provides protection against conditions like hypocalcemia, hypernatremia, necrotizing enterocolitis, and gastrointestinal, respiratory and ear infections.

Its happen when being fed and this strengthens the bound between them. • The baby thrives on breastmilk because it is appropriate food for the baby and contains all the required constituents. Breastmilk has the correct types and amounts of : Protein, Fats (of which 95% are absorbed), Carbohydrates (high in lactose), Minerals (a little low in fluoride and in iron, Vitamins (a little low in ‘D’ and ‘K’) • Almost no risk of allergies or atopic diseases for example : Astma • No constipation • Almost no risk obesity and better feeding habits are acquired after weaning, for example, breastmilk is not sweet, artificial feeds often are. • Dental caries greatly reduced • Cot deaths do not seem to occur in wholly breastfed babies and seldom in babies on supplemented feeding, One of the contributing factors in these deaths may be the result of babies being given bottles in their cots and then choking, either because the milk pours into their mouths too quickly, so inhale regurgitated milk. • Breastmilk provides protection againts infection. In bottle fed babies, there is also always the danger of bottles being dropped and so becoming contaminated • Avoid from Hypocaltemia Hypernatraemia Hypocaltemia: too little calcium, resulling in convulsions. Hypernatraemia: too much sodium, caused by the incorrect dilution of milk powder • Reduce the incidence Necrotining enterocolitis, Ulcerative colitis, Multiple aclerosis, and Coronary vascular disease. Necrotining enterocolitis : this condition may arise in preterm infants after an exchange transfusion and only affects artificially fed babies. Ulcerative colitis: seldom found in people who were breastfed. Multiple aclerosis: this is also rare in people who were breastfed. Coronary vascular disease: this condition may arise in preterm infants after an breastfed and this may have an Immunological basis. The following conditions are greatly reduced in breastfeed babies • Gastro-enteritis , which is common in artificially fed babies. • Respiratory tract infections, which are also common in artificially fed babies (possibly aggravated by obesity and by allergies to cow’s milk) • Otitis media is the medical term for middle ear inflammation. • Neonatal septicaemia and meningitis: there are less Coll in the gut of breastfed babies. • Viral infections. (However, note that because breastmilk has an antiviral activity it can interfere with the action of polio vaccine in breastfed infants). • Thrush/ monthal infection: lactoferrin in breastmilk inhibits the growth of candida albicans. • Tuberculosis: leucocytes in breastmilk protect the baby againts tuberculosis and thrush.
