The best source of nutrition for newborn babies is breast milk, according to all medical experts. It includes all of the necessary nutrients in the best ratios and in the easiest form for your baby to digest. Babies who get breast milk develop fewer allergies and are less likely to contract gastroenteritis than infants who consume artificial milk. It is quite uncommon for a woman to have a medical condition that prevents her from breast-feeding, but sadly many mothers are afraid to begin breastfeeding or are discouraged from continuing by small challenges during the first few weeks. Once established, however, breastfeeding is typically a positive experience for mother and baby.
