Please enable javascript to have the best experience with this website Breast milk is the best nutrition you can give to your baby. Breast milk is your body’s way of producing the perfect food for your new baby It’s full of everything they need to grow and develop in a healthy way It has health benefits for mums too and helps create a strong bond between mums and their little ones. Up until 6 months of age breast milk is the only food a baby needs Along with its full range of nutrients, it also comes with a wide range of other health benefits. Breast milk is full of immune factors that help protect your baby early in life, as their immune system develops In the first few days after giving birth, new mothers produce a special kind of milk called colostrum This is particularly rich in the protective factors’ babies need for immune defence This makes it a really important time to be breastfeeding. Breastfeeding can help protect your baby against colds, tummy bugs, infections and allergies. Studies suggest that breastfeeding can have long-term benefits for a child’s cognitive development. As you regularly experience closeness and skin-to-skin contact with your baby through breastfeeding, you can both start to form a strong bond with each other. Breastfeeding is convenient and may save you time compared to formula feeding Consider the additional cost that formula may add to your family budget.
