Is breastfeeding better than bottle-feeding?
Breast is best. Advantages of breastfeeding include: • Enjoying a special closeness with your baby as it is a most satisfying experience and leads to better bonding. • The baby gets to feel your softness and warmth, listen to the sound of your voice, see your face and enjoy the sucking. • Your milk contains antibodies and other substances which reduce the likelihood of infection, constipation, obesity, colic and allergies. • The milk itself is easier for the baby to digest, comes at the right temperature and is free. • Breastfeeding helps the uterus contract faster so that nursing mothers get back into shape more quickly.
