Benefits of Mother's Milk for the Child

Abstract

Human breast milk is a unique product in its composition, ideal for a baby. No formula, not even the most modern ones, can replace human milk. During lactation, it can change the ratio of nutrients depending on the needs of the baby. A vivid example of this is the passage of several stages of breast milk after birth:

• colostrum (from the fourth to the fifth day);
• transition milk (from the fourth to the fifth day - two to three weeks);
• mature milk (two to three weeks after birth).
