• It prevents shortage of calcium in the baby’s blood, thus helping to
construct strong bones.
• It returns with spiritual and psychological benefits to the baby, as it
helps build a well composed, righteous and straight personality,
and strengthens the spiritual and passionate links between the
baby and the mother.
• As revealed in a research published in Pediatric Clinics of North
America in February 2001, the mental abilities of babies who
receive breast feeding from their mothers are stronger and higher
than otherwise, and the longer the period of breast feeding, the
higher the mental abilities are.
• It was shown that mother's milk also provides protection against cancer. After
showing that the incidence of the lymph cancer observed in childhood was nine
times greater in formula-fed children, they realised that the same results applied
to other forms of cancer. According to the results, mother's milk accurately
locates the cancer cells and later destroys them. It is a substance called alphalac
(alphalactalbumin), present in large quantities in mother's milk, that locates
and kills the cancer cells. Alpha-lac is produced by a protein that assists in the
manufacture of the sugar lactose in the milk.
• In addition to some practical benefits of breast feeding. The milk is
always ready with steady and appropriate heat, fresh, sterilized,
digestible and saves money and time !
• Researchers indicated that breast feeding alleviates the baby’s fear
of needle pricks and helps as analgesic during painful operations
such as circumcision.
• A new theory emerged in the recent years indicating that the
protein in cows milk can cause a biological reaction that destroys
the pancreatic beta cells excreting insulin. This theory is supported
with the high rate of the presence of cow milk proteins in the serum
of children with diabetes in comparison with study group of nondiabetic
children.
But why is it that cows milk causes this harm before the second
year, and then disappears after this period?
In a study conducted in Finland in 1994 and published in
Auto-immunity Journal, the authors state that the protein of
cow milk passes in natural form through the lining membrane
of digestive system which is not yet fully grown. As the
enzymes of the digestive system cannot break the protein
into amino acids, the protein of cow milk enters as a complex
protein and works as a catalyst to produce immunity agents
in the body of the child.
New references reveal that enzymes and the lining
membrane of the digestive system and kinetics of digestion
and absorption do not attain complete function except in the
second year after delivery.
