Research shows that breastfeeding offers unique health benefits for both babies and parents. At the same time, babies can grow and thrive on breast milk, infant formula or a combination of the two. Every family's feeding journey is different, but human milk provides benefits that no other source of infant nutrition can match. In this article, you can find information to inform your readers and viewers on how:

• Breastfeeding creates closeness.
• Breast milk builds a baby’s immune system.
• Breast milk supercharges the disease-fighting climate inside a baby’s gut (also known as the gut microbiome). This helps protect infants from illness from the very start. Over time, it also reduces risks for asthma, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and many other serious health issues.
• Breastmilk feeds the brain, too.
