It is a proven fact that any breastfed baby can fight an emergency better than a bottle-fed baby. Breast-milk is the combination of vitamins, proteins, fats, sugar and enzymes. All together are set in correct proportion and thus it serves as an ideal food for the infants.
The babies, who take infant formula products, their bottles and cups should be sterilized in boiled and purified water. This adds a little more to the list of household works for the mom. It is not an easy task to manage hygienic conditions and household works at one time.
A breastfed baby is always advantageous over a bottle-fed baby, breast milk is always fresh, at the right temperature and is available at all times.
Breastfeeding is strongly recommended for the babies until the age of six months, it can also be continued depending on the requirement, till they turn two years old.
Some mothers by seeing their kids sucking their fingers or crying, think that their kids are not getting sufficient milk from their breast. Hence they feed them the infant formula, and the kids fill their stomach with the extra foods and become disinterested to drink breast milk.
The reasons for a baby crying are many. The pediatricians say that if a baby is fed only the breast milk and if he/she urinates for more than four to six times. Then he/she is getting enough milk for his/her stomach. A mother can supply enough milk to the baby as her body is capable of regenerating milk. Hence she doesn’t have to worry about the quantity of milk.
