Breast Milk Is Better Than Formula Milk

In this article before I conclude this summary, I have also made a little comparative summary of breastmilk and formula milk. So you know more about it, let's see the review below:

• The composition of breast milk may change over time. Uniquely the composition of breast milk adapted to the condition and needs of the baby. On the first day, where the baby's stomach is still very small (amount of peanuts) the amount of colostrum was only a little. Low infant immunity at birth, protected by colostrum whose immune substances contain very high. Infant's digestive system is not perfect, enhanced by milk composition that facilitates the absorption that can be used by Baby's body. When the baby is hungry, and suckle longer on his mother, the milk content obtained will be more viscous and solid so that the baby is full. Changes in breast milk composition also change in the state of the sick mother. When the mother is sick with flu, the composition of breast milk will be accompanied by anti-flu, which can protect the baby from the flu itself. Formula milk is unlikely to have a fluctuating composition.
• Infant digestion is not perfect for the entry of fat, whereas in breast milk has been prepared lipase enzymes that help digest fat, and this enzyme is not present in infant formula.
• Breast milk contains essential fatty acids (including DHA) that are not present in infant formula. These essential fatty acids are needed for the growth of the brain, eyes, and health of the baby's blood vessels.
• Breast milk does not cause the baby to constipate as is often complained in infants who consume formula milk.
• Breast milk contains many easily digestible whey proteins, so babies who get milk will be more or more quickly feel hungry to breastfeed. Often breastfeeding has a very good effect in increasing milk production, especially at night (newborns will be more awake at night, and this is good to increase milk production)
• Formula milk contains more protein with casein types that are difficult to digest the baby's digestive system to make it easier for babies to be allergic and obese. The proof there is research that says that babies who get milk are not as fat as a baby with formula milk.

That's just a little description of the comparison of milk and formula is better for the health of the baby in the future more cheerful again build the welfare of his life. Do not try it for your baby, a little mistake, in any case, will be bad for the baby.
