Another wonderful benefit of breastfeeding is that we are giving our baby one of the best immune system vitamin in the world - the breast milk.
I think it is a well known fact that breastfed babies have better immune system in general. Breastfeeding mothers do not have to worry too much about their babies coming in contact with germs or bacterias as much as bottle fed babies. And I think this is such a blessing. I don’t have to sterilize everything that my baby comes in contact with. As a parent, we normally have a lot of things to worry about. There are lots of preventive measures to take. We have to make sure our house is childproof, etc, etc. I think it would be such a pain if we have to worry about sterilizing everything. I don’t have to worry myself sick if my baby accidentally stick something not extremely clean into her mouth.
So, God knows that babies are fragile, and they need a good immune system vitamin to boost up their immune system - and He gave us breast milk.
