Moms, or soon to be moms, always give your baby your own milk whenever possible. Why? Because breastfeeding offers many more advantages compared to bottle feeding. There so many substances in a mom's milk that can not be found in factory-made baby-milk. And you will be less likely to face complications with your baby's health if you choose breastfeeding instead of bottle-feeding.
Child care experts suggest that a baby should be given mother's milk for at least six months. Some even recommend two years breast-feeding whenever possible.
And the first milk that a mother issues right after giving birth is considerably important for the baby for it contains a substance called colostrum. Colostrum is very essential in the building of the baby's immune system. Milk processed from cow's milk does not have colostrum although in recent years some baby-milk producers claim that they have added an synthetic form of the substance to their products.
Mom's milk is also easier for baby to digest, enabling his/her digesting system to operate more smoothly, and making his/her feces less smelly. The baby will also be better protected from defecating problems that are common among bottle-fed babies. And in terms of money, of course breast milk costs much cheaper than factory-made baby-milk.
And last but not least, some experts have noticed that the ones who had been bottle-fed when they were babies are more prone to procrastinate, lazier and have less fighting spirit in their souls.
