Feeding your baby
Breastfeeding
The mother’s milk is the ideal food for the infant; it is a treasure
that Allah has placed in the breasts of the woman.
Natural breast
milk gives your child a healthy start in life; it gives him an ideal
mixture of nutrients that he needs, in
a unique combination that
is suited to his digestive system and growing body. It is not only
nourishment for your child; when you hold your child to your
breast as you breastfeed him,
you are creating a loving
relationship between you and your child, based on touch and
smell, and gazing at one another.
Despite the role that modern science has played in improving
bottle milk, it has not and never will
reach the level of natural
mother’s milk, because the nutrients in mother’s milk cannot be
replaced by bottle milk. The benefits of breast milk are not only
physical; they are also emotional.
Benefits and advantages of breastfeeding
1. Children who are breastfed are at
less risk from contagious
diseases than children who are bottle-‐fed, because mother’s milk
contains antibodies that help to protect the infant against serious
problems such as diarrhea, other stomach diseases and some
childhood cancers.
2. The mother’s
milk gives a sense of comfort, happiness and
psychological stability which the mother feels as a result of the
strong bond with her child and fulfillment of her natural role.
3. Mothers who breastfeed find that the return of their menstrual
periods
is delayed, and this helps to create a space between
births.
4. There are fewer cases of urinary tract infections, ear infections
and other kinds of infections among
children who are breastfed,
