Human breast milk is nature’s perfect food for infants. It promotes health, prevents disease and minimises health care and feeding expenses. The World Health Organization, the NHS and many other organisations have adopted policies to promote the benefits of breastfeeding for both mothers and their children. They advocate exclusive breastfeeding from birth up to six months, then supplemented breastfeeding up to two years or more.
What makes breast milk so ideal is the fact that it is easy to digest, and it has basically the right amount of water, fat, sugar and protein that babies need to grow and develop. Antibodies are handed down from mother to child during breastfeeding. Colostrum, the milk produced in the first few days after birth, is particularly rich in immunoglobulins, which help prevent prevalent childhood illnesses such as diarrhoea and pneumonia.
There are so many advantages to breastfeeding. You will get to enjoy a special bond with your baby, knowing that you’re giving him the best possible nutrition. You also save money since you don’t have to buy infant formula. There are so many health benefits for you and your child. In some studies, it has been found that mothers who breastfeed lower their risk of developing health problems such as type 2 diabetes, and ovarian and breast cancer. Also, women who breastfeed are able to return to their pre-pregnancy weight a lot faster and enjoy lower cases of obesity.
Breastfeeding leads to a lifetime of excellent health. According to the WHO, there is evidence that people who were breastfed perform better in intelligence tests, have lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and lower rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes. It is also interesting to know that women who were breastfed as babies, tend to have a naturally positive attitude to breastfeeding and would choose it as their preferred feeding method for their newborn babies.
Though any amount of breastfeeding has a valuable effect, the longer you breastfeed, the longer the protection lasts and thus, the bigger the benefits. Breastfeeding your child after one year and beyond is beneficial to both you and your child. One of the best ways to help toddlers develop emotionally is the closeness and availability of the mother through breastfeeding. Also, similar to babies, toddlers receive a lot of health benefits from breastfeeding, as your milk continues to provide vitamins and immunity boosters, and guard your children from illnesses and allergies. read more…

- History or Legend?
The history of celebrating St Valentine’s Day dates back to the times of the Roman Empire. One legend contends that its patron saint was a priest performing secret marriage ceremonies against the new Emperor’s law, for which he was imprisoned and sentenced to death. On the day he was to die, he wrote a note to a girl he was in love with and signed it ‘From your Valentine’, an expression commonly used today . Some believe that indeed Valentine’s day is celebrated on 14th February to commemorate Saint Valentine’s death, other theories claim that Valentine’s Day was an attempt to ‘Christianise’ the traditional Roman spring festivals. What started as ancient rituals to welcome spring has transformed through the centuries to become the most romantic day of the year for all lovers. The tradition of Valentine’s Day became more widespread with Christianity and it is now recognised and celebrated worldwide. Every year on this day billions of ‘valentines’ are sent all over the world and it is common for friends and lovers to exchange love notes, tokens of affection and small gifts.
Did you know? One of the oldest known Valentine’s cards dates back to 1415 and is now preserved in the British Museum. It was sent by Charles, the Duke of Orleans, to his wife during his imprisonment in the Tower of London.
