What is the average breastfeeding period recommended for infants by healthcare professionals?

Why is reading to infants so important?
Reading to infants is important for their language development, cognitive skills, and bonding with parents or caregivers. It helps infants learn new words, understand sounds and patterns in language, and creates a positive association with books and reading from a young age. This early exposure to language sets the foundation for future literacy skills and can foster a love of reading.
How are infants conditioned?
Infants can be conditioned through positive reinforcement, such as giving praise or rewards for desired behaviors, or through negative reinforcement, where undesirable behaviors lead to consequences like time-outs. It can also involve classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus is paired with a natural response to create an association. Overall, conditioning in infants is a gradual process that shapes their behaviors and responses over time.

What are the two ways fluoride is made available to tooth surfaces?
The two ways fluoride is made available to the tooth's enamel are topically and systemically. Topically is to use fluoridated toothpaste, fluoride treatment or similar agent such as fluoridated mouth wash. Fluoride benefits (if any) via systemic application are described in the "theory" that by ingesting fluoride such as fluoridated drinking water, consuming a beverage or any food or drink that is made with or contains the chemical compound fluoride (or otherwise processed by fluoridated city drinking water) enters the body and is absorbed into the body fluids. Simple water filtration does not remove the fluoride, so anything such as tap water, fruit juice or Gatorade will contain fluoride if the source of the water is fluoridated. The two most successful ways to remove the fluoride is by Reverse Osmosis filtration or Distillation. Most cities in the United States add fluoride to drinking water so that your body can ingest it and the thinking behind this is that the fluoride is made available to the tooth's enamel via the saliva and thus absorbed into the enamel. The Fluoride Myth claims that this absorption of fluoride into the enamel causes the tooth enamel to re-mineralize and thereby strengthen it. The problem is that there have been no sound studies to prove this "re-mineralization process". It has been a lie told to us for decades so we would believe that fluoride is good for us. Fluoride is the byproduct of sulfuric acid reacting with the naturally occurring mineral fluorspar (also known as fluorapatite). Fluoride is also produced by aluminum metal manufacturing, fertilizer manufacturing, as well as atomic bomb making. Fluoride compounds are used for glass etching, electroplating, rust and stain removal, cleaning agents and have also been used in rat poison. More and more researchers and chemists are coming forward to prove that Fluoride is actually a harmful poison and that it does damage to bones, teeth and causes brain damage in infants as well as other psychological disorders in children such as ADHD, etc. All you have to do is spend some time searching Fluoride on your favorite search engine and you will find the truth - good luck.
Fluoride in diet?
DefinitionFluoride occurs naturally in the body as calcium fluoride. Calcium fluoride is mostly found in the bones and teeth.Alternative NamesDiet - fluorideFunctionSmall amounts of fluoride help reduce tooth decay. Fluoridation of tap water helps reduce cavities in children by 50 - 60%. Fluorides also help maintain bone structure. Low doses of fluoride salts may be used to treat conditions that cause faster-than-normal bone loss, such as menopause.Food SourcesFluoridated water, and food prepared in fluoridated water, contains fluoride. Natural sodium fluoride is in the ocean, so most seafood contains fluoride. Tea and gelatin also contain fluoride.Side EffectsFluoride deficiency may appear in the form of increased cavities, and weak bones and teeth. Fluoride supplementation is necessary to prevent cavities, especially in children, if tap water is not fluoridated. As an example, well water is not fluoridated.Excess fluoride in the diet is extremely rare.RecommendationsThe Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine recommends the following dietary intake for fluoride:Infants0 - 6 months: 0.01 milligrams per day (mg/day)7 - 12 months: 0.5 mg/dayChildren1 - 3 years: 0.7 mg/day4 - 8 years: 1.0 mg/day9 - 13 years: 2.0 mg/dayAdolescents and AdultsMales age 14 to 18 years: 3.0 mg/dayMales over 18 years: 4.0 mg/dayFemales over 14 years: 3.0 mg/dayThe best way to get the daily requirement of essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods from the food guide pyramid.Specific recommendations depend on age and gender, Ask your health care provider which amount is best for you.ReferencesInstitute of Medicine.
