A few weeks ago, the American Academy of Pediatrics updated its recommendations on breastfeeding, stating that it should last until at least the first two years of life. And the reasons for doing so are becoming clearer.
Breast milk is the best food for the baby during its first six months of life, due to the long list of benefits it provides. Although the list is long, more and more reasons are being discovered every day to continue choosing it as your main food.
Breast milk is the ideal food for newborns and infants up to six months of life, and continues to be so afterwards, accompanied by the complementary feeding recommended according to the baby's age.
We know that there is no better food for the baby than breast milk. Among its benefits we can mention that it is free, it is always prepared and at the ideal temperature, it provides immunity against diseases and reduces the risk of allergies, in addition to promoting the attachment bond between mother and baby.
Having a baby can be exhausting. In fact. It has been studied that parents lose many hours of sleep in the first year of their baby's life. And, if we breastfeed, this fatigue can fall more on the mother, who is in charge of feeding the baby at night.
Breastfeeding has multiple benefits for the baby, but these are not limited to him: mothers also benefit from breastfeeding their children, although perhaps not all are so well known.
The protective effect that breast milk has on the health of the child is known and that is why the WHO (World Health Organization) recommends it as exclusive food during the first six months of life and supplemented with solid food for, at least, two years.
