Advantages of breastfeeding


To achieve the desired results, the recommended span of breastfeeding is at least 6 months. Those desired results include:
1. Bonding of mother and child: Here, six months is a good span of time for a baby to recognize the mother's voice, the mother's body odor, the mother's face, and feel of skin.
2. Transfer of immunity from mother to child.
3. Trust.
