So, if you determine to go for baby breastfeeding, your child will develop low vulnerability towards eye and ear infections; have a lower amount of respiratory diseases.
  • breastfeeding benefits child’s mental health too. Those babies who are breastfed are intellectually well-found as compared to those children who grow in normal conditions or with packed milk.

Also, these children are very responsive to physical and emotional actions and show a greater response to their external environment.
  • In today’s world, we have a huge array of diseases whose origins and causes are unknown. This trend will not decrease in forthcoming years and if we want our child to be a hale and healthy child, there is no other option available to us other than baby breastfeeding.
