Do I Need To Breastfeed My Infant?

There are infinite reasons why a mother may choose to breastfeed or not, and it is always a personal decision. Baby formula is perfectly capable of providing infants with the nutrients they need to grow and develop. With that in mind, there are benefits that breast milk can offer a baby that formula cannot.

• Breast milk can help keep your little one healthy. When a mother nurses, healthy antibodies and germ-fighting mechanisms transfer to the baby. This helps to protect their little immune system and ward off ear infections, respiratory infections, meningitis, and other conditions.

• When you nurse your baby, the skin-to-skin contact, eye contact, and closeness all help create a bond with your infant and make them feel secure.

• Breastfeeding can help prevent childhood obesity, diabetes, and asthma as your baby grows up. It also cuts the risk of sudden infant death syndrome nearly in half.

• Breast milk is also easier on your little one’s tummy. Formula is designed to fit the basic needs of all babies, but not all babies have the same exact needs. Except in incredibly rare cases, your breast milk is the perfect combination of lactose, fat, and protein for your baby. Your “first milk” that your body produces after birth is especially important. Called colostrum, this initial milk helps coat your baby’s digestive tract to make future feedings easy on the tummy. This results in fewer cases of diarrhea and constipation, both of which can be dangerous for newborns and premature babies especially.

• Breastfeeding releases a hormone called oxytocin which helps your uterus contract and return to its prenatal size, which can also help reduce postnatal bleeding. Breastfeeding is also believed to lower your risk of certain cancers and osteoporosis.

• Breastfeeding saves time and money. With formula, you have to purchase formula, mix it, and warm it. Nursing allows you to skip these steps and feed your baby immediately. Even if you pump and store your milk and use bottles for feeding, you are still saving money on formula.
