BREAST FEEDING

BREAST FEEDING

Breastfeeding is the practice of a human mother feeding a baby (and sometimes a toddler or a young

child) with milk produced from her mammary glands, usually directly from the

nipples. Babies have a sucking instinct allowing them to extract the milk.

While many mothers choose to breastfeed their child there are some who do not,

either for personal or medical reasons. Breast milk has been shown to be very

beneficial for a child, though, as with other bodily fluid transfers, some

conditions can be passed from the mother to the infant. As an alternative the

baby may be fed infant formula until the time that the child may move on to

baby food.
