Wk 2 Child Development and Public Health

Breastfeeding

I chose breastfeed because I never though about breadfeeding if I have any children I would breastfeed. But I will think twice of it because I read a article about how beastfeeding helps the children be healthy. Mother's milk provides antibodies, which formula does not. Antibodies protect the baby from infection and illness in Africa.It talk s about how breastfeed will affect the child if the mother have HIV.In the United States people don't want to breastfeed their children they want to give them the can milk. How the baby finds the mother's breast all by his or her self. The time that mother's should stop birth feedin their child and for the child to be healthy. If I was parent's I would breastfeed my child before I go in public or I will breastfeed at home and put it in a milk bottles for my child.

I agree. When I have children, I will definitely ensure that my wife breast feeds, for all the reasons yu mentioned. I think it's awesome that the contents of the breast milk changes as the child grows to supply the infants nutritional needs. Breast feeding is also great because there is no additional expense on formula and that's important especially in today's economy.
