Due to the well-established benefits of breastfeeding, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), World Health Organization (WHO), and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) independently recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months, followed by complimentary breastfeeding until one year of life and then as mutually decided upon by mother and baby.2,3 The CDC released provisional breastfeeding data for U.S. children born in 2010, indicating 76.5 ± 1.6% were breastfed in early post-partum

She changed her approach and hand expressed milk from Ellen and feed it to Harry using a syringe with her finger in his mouth.

("What'S In Breast Milk?", 10/2011). Breastfeeding provides an infant with all the nutrition the child will require the first six months of life. Breast-milk alone is enough for the infant to rely on in order to meet nutritional requirements. Equally important, a mother’s milk also contains the right amount of antibodies and immunities designed for the infant. Thanks to the proper nutrition provided combined with a healthy amount of antibodies and immunities, breastfeeding has been proven to prevent illnesses
Mother and baby should get together to establish a good relationship by breastfeeding. Moreover, fathers’ loving help and support enables mothers to focus on mothering so that they can develop closer relationships and strengthen their family, even fabric of society.

"One study showed that the babies who received no breast milk had IQS 8 points lower on average than those who received breast milk." (Dremer, 1997, para. 6) One other great benefit of breastfeeding is lowering the cost of everything. Although, the mother will be eating more compared to her normal pre-pregnancy stage, the cost of purchasing extra food for the mother versus buying formula is obvious. Formula tends to be extremely expensive without any of the extra benefits of real human milk. On
she explained how an immunology study supported the finding that a woman’s “body will actually change the milk's immunological composition, tailoring it to the baby's particular pathogens by producing customized antibodies.” Another physical benefit of breastfeeding is the impact it has on the development of allergies in the child later in life. Studies show a drastically reduced development of atopic or allergy related issues in individuals who were breastfed. Individuals were studied up to 17
A mother’s health if often overlooked after a baby has been born, but breastfeeding is just as healthy for mother as for babies. Just like babies, there are many short and long term health benefits for mothers. The suckling of the baby releases oxytocin from the mother’s pituitary gland that releases signals to the breast to release milk, but it also produces contractions in the uterus that prevent postpartum hemorrhage and promote the uterus to return to the no pregnant state (Dermer 2001).

A mom who breastfeeds can return to her pre-pregnancy shape and weight quicker.
Healthcare needs to be more pro-active in supporting with education for women on the lifelong benefits of breastfeeding their babies, even if they only breastfeed during those first six months of life (Wu, 2009).

If a mother is breastfeeding, she must also watch what she is eating, as what she eats is passed on through her breast milk and may also cause upset stomach or even diarrhoea in the child as their digestive systems are weaker than that of an adult. Foods that the mother may miss out on include spicy foods and even chocolate, which can both have an adverse effect on the baby’s stomach and faeces.

Symptoms typically appear within minutes to two hours after the person has eaten the food to which he or she is allergic. It is not known at this time whether food allergies can be prevented.
