Q 2. Benefits of breastfeeding. It is natural and cheap ( not from cow) and so does not require any special preparation apart from hygiene and proper positioning.

Breastmilk confers antibodies( biological soldiers) to fight infections for the baby's immature system. It reduces the development of allergens, improves your babies IQ, prevents diarrhea and other infections. (1/2)
