Breast feeding has become an iffy subject, many moms do anything to breastfeed as long as posible while others dread even the thougt of it. The benefits of breast milk are numerous, one well known benefit is that of immunity and the protection that it brings to the child in both its early and later years of life.
I want to leave you with this article which talks about breast milk's impact on the brain and how it promotes IQ, brain size, and white matter development.
If you are interested on the subject and are considering breastfeeding I truly recomend reading this article (at least the discussion). As for my personal opinion I am without a doubt, all for breastfeeding!!!
I also leave a link to a website on 101 REASONS TO BREASTFEED.
