Breastfeed baby or feed him the bottle?
Breastfeeding is the best diet for health, growth and development. Breast milk is much more valuable than any other product that is given as a substitute for breast milk. It contains a balanced ratio of nutrients and ingredients to ward off infections, ideally suited to the needs of your child. A baby who is breastfed receives the most valuable food and that it is most convenient. Therefore, the baby millionaires that artificial feeding (formula) milk has a poorer nutrition of infants from the poorest families by nursing her mother. So always, if you have opportunities, tj.mlijeka, choose to breastfeed your children. The vast majority of women can breastfeed, but unfortunately there are many entrenched practices which jeopardize breastfeeding.

Your child should first begin to breastfeed, and then to yourself through the bottle, which should be only a secondary option. When your baby turns 6 months to gradually introduce solid foods, but the ideal would be to continue to breastfeed. Your child should continue to drink sweetened drinks or tea. These fluids contain no nutrients and destroy your teeth. Tea reduces the absorption of iron and can lead to anemia.
Breast-feeding prevents the development of exluded in adulthood. Breastfeeding reduces the risk of development of children's diabetes (diabetes mellitus). Breastfeeding on demand may delay the child allergies such as asthma or eczema. Research shows that children who are breastfed have better intelligence.

Breastfeed your baby, the better the student one day
Children who were breastfed as babies showed better results in school, say the scientists.
Just four weeks after birth, breast feeding babies are sufficient to significantly affect the development and progress of children in preschool and school age. Babies who are breast feeding mothers do better in reading, writing and mathematics at age 5, 7, 11 or 14 years.
It has long been known that breastfeeding is good for immunity, so that babies who are fed breast milk more easily recover from ear infections, fewer are bothering your stomach, and rarely suffer from asthma, but now scientists have found that breastfeeding positively affects intelligence.
A team of scientists from Oxford University conducted a study during which they monitored the results of 10 000 students who are mothers breastfed and those who were on artificial food for babies. Although the respondents came from the same social environment, analysis of school success it was found that kids who are mothers breastfed showed better results in mathematics, reading and writing in elementary and high school.

Challenging behavior was observed in six percent of children who were breastfed at least four months, while this kind of behavior is represented in 16 percent of children who were fed with artificial milk, according to research.
One possible reason for better development of breastfed children is that breast milk contains a number of fatty acids, essential for the growth of children, as well as hormones that are important for brain development and nervous system.
But the act of breastfeeding has a beneficial effect on the interaction between mother and child as well as on cognitive function in children.
