      Breastfeeding is not as good as feeding formula

      Some people think that breastfeeding is not as good as feeding milk powder. This understanding is actually wrong. Breast milk contains baby All the nutrients needed in the first 4 to 6 months after birth, including appropriate amounts of protein and fat, as well as lactose and water, iron and vitamins required by the human body, and appropriate amounts of salt, calcium, phosphorus and other minerals, which cannot be replaced by other milk substitutes.

      Breastfeeding is not only good for babies nerve development and intellectual development, and can prevent babies from suffering from diarrhea , respiratory tract infection ( cold , pneumonia) and middle ear infections and other common infectious diseases.

      clean and sterile healthy Breast milk itself contains antibodies to common infectious diseases, which is exactly what any milk substitute does not have.

      Surveys show that babies who are not breastfed are 15 to 25 times more likely to develop diarrhea and die within 6 months of birth than those who are exclusively breastfed.

      In addition, breast milk helps fat digestion, and the freshness, suitable temperature and ready availability of breast milk are also unmatched by milk substitutes.
