Study Notes

Breastfeeding Recommendations

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for at least six months.

Nutrient Absorption Comparison

Breastmilk contains easily absorbed proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, making it more easily digestible than formula.
Formula, on the other hand, has higher levels of protein and calcium, which can be harder for babies to digest.

Benefits for Baby's Eyes

Breastfeeding has been shown to reduce the risk of developing retinopathy of prematurity, a condition that can cause blindness in premature babies.

Impact on Premature Babies

Breastfeeding has been shown to reduce the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis, a serious intestinal infection that affects premature babies.
Breastmilk contains antibodies that help fight off infections and promote the development of a healthy gut.

Infection Prevention

Breastfeeding has been shown to reduce the likelihood of ear infections, respiratory tract infections, and diarrhea in babies.
The antibodies in breastmilk provide protection against infections and help to boost the baby's immune system.
