Brest Milk – Best for kids’ Brain Editor Which milk is most beneficial
and valuable? Many may think of cow milk or goat milk. Wrong. The
best milk is breast milk which is beneficial especially for young
babies. Breast milk contains essential ingredients for growth and
development of babies. Breast feeding means mothers can spend more
time with their babies strengthening the deep ties between them.
Breast milk makes babies strong and healthy both mentally and physically.
Babies who are fed with breast milk are lively and playful with
strong immune system. They are intelligent and their development
on language are faster than children who are not fed with breast
milk.
Breast milk is considered
a large capital for baby's brain development. Nature has allocated
cow milk for its calves; goat milk for baby goats and breast milk
is for human babies.
Breast milk contains
essential fat which will coat the baby nerves in the brain encouraging
a network that helps baby to response effectively to stimulant.
Protein in breast milk will further reduce allergy. Nutrients in
breast milk will decrease a chance for baby against infections.
Babies are strong and healthy without any chances to get very sick.
All these benefits are not found in animal's milk.
Other than benefits
to babies, breast feeding is also valuable for mother. Mrs Jutha
Tarachai, a modern mother who cares of her baby tells us her direct
experiences:-
"My first pregnancy
is in 2000. I started studying and reading for my health. I read
health magazine, books and some information from websites. I wished
to deliver my baby naturally not by surgery. I was not afraid of
pain. I read Balavi.com about exercise in water for pregnant women.
I was interested as I did not have any exercise at all. My body
was hot that time. I had extra heat in my body. I was frustrated
easily. I vomited morning and evening but after 4 months, I was
alright. I attended the course and any time I finished exercising
in water, I became calm and at ease. I was in good mood every time,
I did exercise in water.
Exercise during pregnancy
prepared me for a sound delivery. However, I was worried as I did
not have enough breast milk. I ate anything that support production
of breast milk: - our Thai vegetable soup (Kaeng Riang) or chicken
with ginger. I drank 4.5-5 litres of clean water. After 2 weeks,
my breast milk was normal. I did everything for my child so that
he would be breast fed. I want to give him the best of everything.
I know how beneficial breast milk is for babies. I have spent a
lot of time with my baby. We have had a very strong connection.
He was always in good mood. His eyes sparkle. He could develop very
well especially with language. My baby is intelligent and sharp".
Any mothers who are
pregnant or are still giving powdered milk or cow milk to your babies,
may be this is the time to pay attention to this natural behaviour.
It is most possible the next "Genius", may be very near you-your
very own child.
