Breastfeeding VS Infant Milk powder   by Mamyrich

As a mother of 3 children, I m very caution on views as such between Breastfeeding VS Infant milk powder. The facts is I m strongly believe and support on “Breastfeeding Your Babies” as much as possible & as long as possible..

While some mothers that are might finding excuses of lazy, no time, messy, etc…I would say this is rather selfish act…But, then again this is their choice for their newborn baby.

Other than that, there is lots incidents due to some circumstances such as lack of milk supply, illness, surgical treatment, etc..which I cant comment that mothers force to give up..

BREAST FEEDING
How it came about?
Breast is a gland consist main of connective and fatty issue that support and protect the milk producing areas of the breast. The milk is produce in small clusters of cells called alveoli, which then it travels down ducts to the nipples. The more you let your baby latch on, the milk will be flowing out naturally, its a process of demand and supply. Of course, with a good positioning and good diet from your prenatal and post natal.

I trust that many of mothers or even newly crown as mothers, known the wonders of breast milk for babies. To summarize for all newly mothers, breast milk provide yourself, babies and society a superb benefit..

VERSUS

FORMULA MILK POWDER
How it came about?
Its being manufactured from dairy product made by evaporating milk to dryness. This concentrated milk is then being sprayed in a fine mist into hot air to remove further moisture and end product give in powder form. All these dairy products exported must conform the standard laid by Codex Alimetarius.

To share my reading from “Wikipedia”, the WHO, UNICEF and other health agencies, highly recommend “Breastfeeding” exclusively for baby first 6months of life while compare with Formula infant milk powder that might be an imperfect approximation.

WHY?
(a) Up to date, the chemical properties or nutrient breakdown of breast milk are still quite hidden and not much full recorded report in this subject.
(b) Breast milk changes with the feeding habits of a baby, temperature of body that work together with the infant’s individual growth and development.
(c) Sanitation procedure while preparing milk for babies in bottles often an issue either in poor countries, poor mothers in developing countries or even the rich mothers. This standards is known often its lack of mean to perform them.
(d) Feeding time and quantity amount of every feeds is merely a recommendation by the milk powder company. Mothers had to be caution, patiently and observe this issue from time to time. Eg : Poor mothers, they will use less powder mixed with more water in order to prolong the container of milk last longer vice versa for rich, the baby might be overfed.
(e) Truth is breast milk contain the mother’s antibodies that benefit the babies as mothers immune system had many years of training in combating the germs and bacteria.

Whether choices is Breast feeding or Infant Milk Powder, I do strongly trust, as Mothers or Fathers, we PARENTs, want the BEST for our babies. Therefore, be vigilant, observe and find out more about the products before being used by our innocent and adorable babies and childrens.
