PureMilk Is Baby’s Best Bet

(Newswire.net — November 21, 2017) Cheyenne, Wyoming — All across the world, breastfeeding is the norm whether for cultural reasons or due to economical constraints, either way the benefits of breast milk to an infant is priceless. Try as they may, scientists are yet to fully understand the unprecedented complexity of a mother’s breast milk. Exclusive nursing yields unparalleled health benefits to a child.

If you’re fortunate enough to be able to nurse without intervals of formula supplements then you’re one of the few women, at least in the highly developed western world, who has fed their baby the medically ideal way. But this is not to discount the efforts of any mom who faces a challenge in doing so as life happens and every mother is undoubtedly doing their best within their personal and financial means.

“Breast milk contains everything the baby needs for the first six months of life, in all the right proportions,” reports HealthLine Magazine. “Its composition even changes according to the baby’s changing needs, especially during the first month of life.”

With that said, there is no arguing with science, breast is best and formula is the second best created to help fill in the gaps as they arise for some moms and rightly so.

Many have wondered however what should be done when the mom gets sick, like should she stop nursing to prevent passing on the illness to her young one. The answer may surprise you as it’s actually recommended that nursing continues all the more. Now obviously this thought cannot be sweepingly applied as cases of pink eye, chicken pox and similarly contagious aliments should be quarantined but for simpler and more common issues such as reoccurring seasonal colds, the brakes need not be pulled on nursing.

“Breastfeeding mothers with the flu may actually provide their babies with antibodies that help them fight the pathogen that is causing the sickness,” further asserts HealthLine Magazine. “Formula doesn’t provide antibody protection for babies as numerous studies show that babies who are not breastfed are more vulnerable to health issues like pneumonia, diarrhea and infection.”

It’s also valuable to note that there are also direct gains for nursing moms as well, from a lowered risk of developing ovarian cancer and osteoporosis to weight loss, yes you heard right, weight loss benefits.

“Breastfeeding burns extra calories, so it can help you lose pregnancy weight faster,” says WebMD.com. “It releases the hormone oxytocin, which helps your uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size and may reduce uterine bleeding after birth.”

From all sides of the spectrum the wellbeing of both mother and child is secured through nursing. And on those rare occasions that a pint of beer or a glass of strawberry daiquiri is had by a nursing mom, there are safeguards available. Alcohol detection kits such as the PureMilk™ breast milk analysis strips are good to have at hand for testing with 99.9% accuracy when it’s the right time to resume nursing.
