Yes, the immunities that are given to a baby by its mother through breast milk is an important part of keeping a young child healthy. While the nutritional value of breast milk is unsurpassed by mass produced formula, there are many other benefits to breast milk. A short partial list of these include: immunities given to the baby, emotional health, health benefits to the mother, and a host of long term benefits to both mother and child. Want a healthy happy baby and live well yourself? Breast feed exclusively for the first six months and continue with nursing for a least another year.
