Benefits of breastfeeding for the baby

Breast milk contains antibodies and other elements that protect your baby from illness and chronic disease.

1. Protects against allergies. Cow milk and soy milk formulas can stimulate or trigger allergic reactions.

2. Less stomach or bowel movement problems than formulas

3. Reduces risk of infection and certain diseases such as diabetes. Immune factors and antibodies are transferred to baby through breastfeeding

4. Vaccines are more effective due to a better antibody response in breastfeeding

5. Enhances baby’s IQ thus making baby smarter. This is due to the fatty acids in breast milk
