6 Benefits of Breastfeeding for the Baby
4. It helps prevent SIDS
SID or sudden infant death syndrome is very common among infants. According to research, out of every 90 infants that die of SIDS, only 4 infants are breastfed.
5. It helps build the baby’s bones
Breast milk also increases the bone density and results in healthier and stronger bone growth for the baby. Appendicitis is also at a considerably reduced risk.
6. It helps build the antibody response
Babies are born with zero immunity and when they are breastfed they get antibodies so that they can fight off diseases. These antibodies are found in the mother’s milk. The added benefit of breastfeeding is that the response of the antibody to vaccines also becomes much higher.
