Breast milk is best for your child but formula milk can be used alongside breast milk
Breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months before switching to baby formula. There are more nutrients and health benefits to the baby when using breast milk.
1) The mother's milk is the ONLY perfect baby formula for the first several months of the baby's life. 2) The act of breast-feeding creates a mother-child bond which contributes to the child's emotional health throughout life.
Medical studies have shown a fairly clear relationship between breast feeding and a strong reduction in breast cancer. The general number I have read is that if a woman has a cumulative time of 18 to 24 months breast feeding she has a significant lower chance of contracting breast cancer. Once again, breast feeding pays dividends beyond keeping your baby fed!
Breast-feeding can suppress ovulation, so if you are breast-feeding, that could be the reason you aren't having your period. If you aren't breast-feeding, wait a couple of months more, and then give your obstetrician a call.
breast feeding is good for a baby because the baby is used to their mommy's skin, it has lived in her stomach of 9 months (may vary) but also it has come out her vagina, and touched her, and for now, is used to their skin. also this milk is at the right tempreture.
about 9 months :) and then if you plan on breast feeding, a while longer.
If she is breast feeding her child, she can lactate for years as long as she is getting herself sucked dry 2-3 times in a day. If she has stopped breast feeding, her breasts will stop producing milk after 4-6 months.

Breast feeding is a natural inhibitor of fertility, so if you're breast feeding you will be highly unlikely to have periods. Non-breast feeding mothers could expect to return to a fairly normal menstrual cycle about 10 weeks after giving birth but this can vary.
Babies should still be breast feeding, or drinking formula, at the age of 3 months. On your 4 month doctors visit & check up, the doctor will give you the OKAY as to whether or not the baby may began eating pureed baby foods.
