Proper Development

Babies who suckle from the breast are developing correct alignment of their jawbones and muscles. The breast exercises more muscles than drinking from a bottle. Also, breast feeding babies are not exposed to the germs that will form in bottles, if they are fed at the breast. The breast is always ready, at the perfect temperature, and always sterile! Breast feeding is truly the perfect form of feeding for any infant. While it is not always easy at first, the benefits far outweigh any momentary disadvantage to the mother. As society becomes more and more accepting of breastfeeding as the best way to feed babies, more and more mothers will be doing it. After all, we all want to give our babies the best possible start in life! The health benefits of breast feeding babies go far into their adult lives.
