Mother’s milk is a matchless compound to meet the baby’s nutritional needs and protect it against possible infections. The balance of the nutriments in mother’s milk is at ideal levels and the milk is in the ideal form for the baby’s immature body. At the same time, the mother’s milk is also very rich in nutrients which accelerate the growth of brain cells and the development of the nervous system. 1 Artificial baby foods prepared with present-day technology cannot replace this miraculous food.
Scientific research shows that the cognitive development in breast-fed babies is greater than that in other babies. A comparative analysis of breast-fed babies and formula-fed babies by James W. Anderson—an expert from the University of Kentucky—established that the IQs of babies fed on mother’s milk were 5 points higher than those of other babies. As a result of this study, it was determined that intelligence is benefited by mother’s milk for up to 6 months and that children who are breast-fed for less than 8 weeks show no IQ benefit. 7

Somethings to Note: Breast milk is low in vitamin D, but in normal circumstances infants synthesize their own with the help of sunlight. Doctors began recommending vitamin D supplements in the 1990s after medical journals reported increasing numbers of U.S. and Canadian babies with rickets, a bone disease caused by vitamin D deficiency.
Women are vulnerable to depleting their nutrient stores, nursing mothers must give special attention to the intake of vitamin B-6, folic acid, calcium, magnesium and zinc. It is highly recommended they need to start taking pre-natal medicine even before pregnancy and till they finish breast feeding.
