Breastfeeding is a special moment of closeness when the heart of the mother is more open and with the milk the baby is absorbing love. This flow and exchange of love between mom and kid creates a feeling of satisfaction and happiness for both baby and mother.
During the pregnancy mother and fetus are physically and spiritually one - heart to heart, soul to soul. The baby safely grows inside the womb and the future mom has time to prepare, maturate and build deep spiritual bonding of love with the baby.
A truly loving mom will extend this profound connection and will keep her little one happy and healthy - close to her heart as much as possible. One early separation from the mother may cause a deep emotional trauma of feeling less love worthy or fear of being abandoned. Kids are very sensitive and vulnerable. The spiritual bonding between mother and baby is essential for the emotional health of the child and will influence its social behavior and sexual attitude as an adolescent and adult.
The newborn infant still entirely depends on the mother - for nutrition, protection, love and care.
One very important part to satisfy the spiritual and nutritional needs of the baby is the breastfeeding.
Mother's milk is the best food for an infant supplying one perfect combination of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and fluids which are easily digested and absorbed to fill the needs of the very intense growth and development of the newborn baby and the little kid. No one formula milk could substitute the unique ingredients of mother milk because formulas are made from processed cow milk - the proteins of cow milk are different and hard to digest and some babies have tummy problems or develop allergic reaction and health problems for years. Breastfeeding reduces the risk of allergies such as atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma and and may protect a child from chronic stomach problems. Mother milk feeding promotes significantly the growth and maturation of the baby's digestive system which is not accomplished until around 6 months of age.
Human milk carries immune factors which protect the baby from many different infections: gastrointestinal infections, respiratory infection, meningitis, ear infections and urinary tract infections.
In addition breast milk contains the fatty acids essential for the development of the baby's nervous system and vision.
Breastfeeding is also the most convenient method of feeding: mother's milk comes always fresh, delicious, naturally clean and warm. There is no preparation and it is always available and free.
Lactation is beneficial for the mother also. Breastfeeding mother is glad giving plenty of love and the best nourishment to her little one and enjoys emotional and hormonal balance. The
act of breastfeeding promotes the recovery of the uterus and reduces the risk of developing a breast cancer, ovarian neoplastic disease, and endometrial carcinoma.
