Mother’s milk is best

Ideally there is no need to give the infant any commercially prepared milk formula. Breast milk is superior and contains at least 100 ingredients not found in animal milk or infant formula. Fortunately, breastfeeding is a tradition among Indian women.

• Breast milk is bacteriologicaly safe and always fresh.

• Sucking aids in development of the jaws, palate, mouth and check muscles.

• Breast milk strengthens the immature immune system of the newborn. Breast-fed infants have lower rates of hospital admissions, diarrhea, cough, colds, pneumonia, ear infections, rashes, German measles, and other medical problems than bottle-fed babies.

  presence  of the mother. Breastfeeding is a happy experience for both
  mother and child and promotes emotional bonding and satisfaction.
