Benefit Of Breastfeeding
An estimated 16 percent of U.S. children are overweight and
carry a significant risk of developing heart disease and
diabetes while young adults.
One study in 2005 by scientists shows that formula fed babies
who gained weight rapidly during their first week of life were
significantly more likely to be overweight decades later.
"It suggests that there may be a critical period in that first
week during which the body's physiology may be programmed to
develop chronic disease throughout life," said Dr. Nicolas
Stettler, a pediatric nutrition specialist at The Children's
Hospital of Philadelphia.
And so he thought that the findings pointed toward ways to
prevent the development of long term obesity. More studies need
to be done to be sure.
The American Association of Pediatrics recommends exclusive
breastfeeding during a baby's first six months of life,"
Stettler said. Breast fed babies are
less likely to be
overweight.
Some other benefits of breastfeeding for infants are:
* Fewer ear and respiratory infections. * Less allergies. *
Reduced incidences of cancer. * Certain immunities are passed
from mother to child. * Reduced incidence of blood infections
and meningitis. * More contact with mother. * Reduced incidences
of insulin-dependent diabetes. * Acts as first brain food as it
helps to set down the proper matrix for humans.
Pretty important benefits, don't you think? So encourage new
mothers to breastfeed. It may seem inconvenient, and may take
some getting used to, but the benefits to the baby may last a
lifetime.
