    The breastfeeding rate in the US is too low as compared to that in India. I barely saw mothers breastfeeding their babies so far. Feeding with the formula milk is commonly seen here. After watching the video "The Milky Way", I realized that it's not wrong to breastfeed a baby in public as we all know that a baby can feel hungry at any point of time. The chapter "Birth and the New born Child" contains a section called "Nutrition: Is Breast Best?"…

    The milk from a bottle is actually more unsanitary than the milk from the breast. The milk straight from the source is the best way to have the least amount of harmful bacteria. It is better for baby to nurse straight from the source than from a bottle of pumped milk. (I'm not bashing bottle feeding moms, promise, just arguing the point that many are making about breasts being disgusting.)…

I have read articles about the importance of breastfeeding but ironically, I have never researched the benefits of breast milk. I am trying to decide whether to start weaning him now or to continue nursing until he turns two; so hopefully, this research will help with my decision.…

Is she not making enough milk, none at all or some other reason? If I had no other options for my baby having breast milk, since I now know it is the best medicine I would pick donor milk.…

    Avery Smith Collins Basic Nutrition 1113 24 April 2016 Infant Feeding Case Study The major concerns in the “advice” that Emily is giving to Kristen is giving baby Claire solid food in her bottle, switching to cow’s milk and giving her baby food from the jar all at the age of three months especially when the baby has only been breast fed up until this point. The baby isn’t ready for this change and these dietary changes could be fatal. Moms may see putting rice cereal in a baby’s bottle as a way to catch a few more hours of sleep with their babies feeling fuller for a longer period of time, no harm done but that is far from healthy for the baby of three months old.…

    Although formula for infants has been highly formulated, breastfeeding is the best option for both the infant and the mother. Breast milk has the correct proportions of macronutrients (lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, and trace elements) that allow for the development of the infant.3 The nutrients in breast milk are easier to digest than in formula.4 Breast milk allows the infant to adjust to it as it grows, first with the colostrum. Colostrum is produced during the first couple of days of breastfeeding. It is rich in immunoglobulins, antimicrobial factors and growth factors.5 Colostrum is not in formula, so it will not be received by the formula-fed infant.…

    when writing an argumentative essay, first the writer needs to gather all the information needed to start the essay. The writer needs a topic to begin with like for instance, why breastfeeding your newborn baby is more substantial than bottle feeding. With a topic as this, this would make a great argument because so many nursing moms and new moms would have a different opinion for each one. Let’s just say that this is the topic for the essay, the writer would need to have a reasoning to back up their argument. From the website webmd.com, the advantages of breastfeeding are: (1) the cost of powdered milk is much more expensive than breast milk, so therefore breast milk is free, (2) the infant will get more nutrients from their mother versus out of a can, (3) it may also contain some fatty acids that promote brain development, (4) it can also save the nursing mom time from having to get up in the middle of the night to prepare a bottle for the baby, and last but not least (5) the new mom could lose weight with breastfeeding, and so much more.…
