What is in Breastmilk?
Breast milk contains everything that the growing body of your baby needs. But what exactly are you giving your baby?
Breast milk is a living substance, similar in concept to blood, in that it changes based on the needs of your child and the environment that you experience.
For example it has been discovered that mothers of prematurely born babies produce milk with a higher than average fat content to help the body and brain of the newborn “catch-up” with where they should be.
Breast milk is also filled with antibodies and other infection reducing agents. As your more robust body encounters virus, bacteria, and the like the immune response created in your body is passed along to your child helping protect them.
Breast milk is also high in calories, which is good for your quickly growing child, and also contains very easily digestible proteins so most of your child’s effort can go in to growing than digesting.
