Feeding infants and newly born kids directly with breast milk from a woman?s breasts is called breastfeeding. Human breast milk which is by all way natural is the healthiest way recommended for milk intake by infants and new born babies. Human breast milk sans artificial formula and with no solid food is generally recommended for six months to infants and new born babies.

However, there are certain exceptions to breastfeeding like a mother who is under the course of certain drugs or is infected with tuberculosis or HIV is not entitled to breastfeeding. When resorted to alternative methods to breastfeeding, it can even lead to death of the infant due to diarrhea. Breastfeeding has more than one advantage for the infants in that they are not only immune to diseases, but also stay in their healthy best. My next post will be about, baby breast feeding.
