Representatives from the County of Marin “Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program” discuss why breastfeeding is good for everyone’s health and the environment.
Breast milk provides the ideal nutrition for infants. … Breastfeeding lowers your baby’s risk of having asthma or allergies. Plus, babies who are breastfed exclusively for the first 6 months, without any formula, have fewer ear infections, respiratory illnesses, and bouts of diarrhea.
Breastfed babies are a much healthier, happier child. Since the beginning of humankind, women have breastfed their babies. … We now know that breastfeeding promotes a healthy, loving bond between Mommy and baby, and that breast milk is an extremely nutritious food for your baby.
Breastfed babies have stronger immune systems. Because your breast milk contains an array of disease-preventing immune factors, doctors have long known that nursing can protect your baby from a variety of illnesses. Recent studies show that protective effects of breast milk may be permanent.
