    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.
