But someone don't know the benefit of breast feeding.They try with other alternative.But no alternative is as helpful as mother's milk.Someone use condensed milk,someone try with cow's milk etc.They think these milk has more nutritional value than breast milk.But it's a wrong idea.

Here I try to describe some health benefits of breast feeding.

Strong Relationship between Mother and Baby:It is important in modern days.Kelly says,"Breastfeeding helps cultivate relationships with other moms ". Breastfeeding guarantees that you and your baby will be in close physical contact 8 to 18 times in every 24 
hours. Kelly adds,"Women are supposed to be sitting together, nursing and taking care of babies."This helps a strong relationship between baby and mother in future.At the age of 60-70
parents need not to go in old home.

of developing chronic conditions, such as type I diabetes, celiac disease and Crohn's disease.Also reduce the risk of childhood cancer.
