Why Breastfeed, adult and baby breastfeeding

Human milk has antibodies, anti-allergens and anti-virus properties not found in formula. It’s the perfect combination of fats, sugar and protein and has over 200 nutrients to support an infant’s development.​

You can learn more about the benefits and the science of breastfeeding by visiting the US Department of Health and Human Services which includes Your Guide to Breastfeeding, a resource to help guide you on your journey.
