The breastmilk, its properties and benefits, the impact on the health of the baby, etc., are topics that we have discussed extensively in Babies and more. It is truly important and necessary that babies can enjoy during the first months the best food they can receive, in fact babies from third world countries triple their chances of survival if they enjoy breast milk. This is what UNICEF says on the occasion of the celebration during these days of the World Breastfeeding Week, an event held in 120 countries. A baby who enjoys from the first day of breastfeeding acquires the necessary immunity to cope with some diseases that are primed especially with newborns. Otherwise, without breastfeeding, the baby can succumb to them.
The death of 1.3 million children a year can be avoided simply by including this diet. Now we should make a reflection, what prevents many third-world mothers from providing their children with this valuable food? Many are the causes that together provide the answer, solving those impediments, it is possible to increase breastfeeding and consequently the survival of children.
