Why only BREASTFEEDING ?
Giving other food or fluid may harm the baby in following
ways:
- It reduces the amount of breast milk taken by the baby
- It may contain germs from water or on feeding bottles or utensils. These germs can cause diarrhoea.
- It may be too, dilute, so the baby becomes malnourished.
- Baby does not get enough iron from cow’s and goat’s milk and thus develop anaemia.
- Baby may develop allergies.
- Baby may have difficulty digesting animal milk; the milk can cause diarrhoea rashes or other symptoms. Diarrhoea may become persistent.
- Breast milk provides all the water a baby needs; babies do not need extra water even during the summer months.
