Article Excerpts about Breast Feeding
More than two decades of research have established that breast milk is
the best or most complete form of nutrition for infants and that it
protects infants from a wide array of infectious and noninfectious
diseases. Some of these include diarrhea, respiratory tract infection,
otitis media or ear infection, pneumonia, urinary infection, necrotizing
enterocolitis (damage to the intestine and colon), and invasive bacterial
infection. Breastfed infants, compared with formula-fed infants, also seem
to have stronger immune systems to fight infection, resulting in lower
rates of chronic childhood diseases, such as diabetes, celiac disease,
inflammatory bowel disease, childhood cancer, and allergies and asthma. As
a result, breastfed babies have lower rates of hospital admissions. Some
studies also suggest that the type of fatty acids available in breast milk
enhances brain growth and development in infants, giving them earlier
visual acuity and cognitive function. (Source: excerpt from Breastfeeding: NWHIC)
