Breast is Best

VS

What’s the difference?

let's look at a study...

Overall, human breast milk is entirely unique from both cow's milk and baby formula in 3 main areas:

Vitamins

BENEFITS OF BREAST MILK

  • Infection-fighting. Antibodies passed from a nursing mother to her baby can help lower the occurrence of many conditions, including:
  • ear infections
  • diarrhea
  • respiratory infections
  • meningitis
  • Breastfeeding is particularly beneficial for premature babies and also may protect children against:
  • allergies
  • asthma
  • diabetes
  • obesity
  • sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)

CARBS

  • The carbohydrates in milk are primarily lactose
  • The lactose concentration in human milk is higher than cow milk or goat milk
  • human milk is unique in that it contains oligosaccharides, which block bacteria attachment to the intestinal surface and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal infections

COW

DHA AND ARA

PROTEINS

Breast milk has: antibodies, DHAs, water, fat, protein carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, and a distinct taste

  • Most of the fats in human milk, goat milk, and cow milk are in the form of triglycerides, but they differ in their fatty DHA, and arachidonic acid or ARA,
  • both DHA and ARA are not found in goat milk or cow milk
  • DHA and ARA are important components of the nervous system and the eye

woman

  • At 0.9 g per 100 ml, human milk contains less protein than cow milk and goat milk
  • the proteins in human milk are balanced and easier to digest
  • the baby's unique protein requirements while protecting the baby's immature kidneys from an overload of protein wastes
  • Human milk also contains enzymes, growth factors, and immunoglobulins that enhance digestion and absorption of nutrients such as fats, stimulate growth and development, and fight off infections

Cows’ milk has: no antibodies, water, fat protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals

Why breast milk is better

HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN

taurine has an important role in the development of the brain and the eyes

SELF-DIGESTING FATS

HORMONES AND ENZYMES

the fat in human milk comes with an enzyme, lipase, that breaks the fat down into smaller globules so this important nutrient can be better absorbed into the bloodstream.

Epidermal growth factor, present in human milk in significant amounts, may promote the development of tissues in the digestive tract and elsewhere. Other hormones in milk may influence a baby's metabolism, growth, and physiology

  • possible connections between ovarian and breast cancer in later life in terms of breastfeeding during the earlier reproductive years
  • As of February 1992, the average yearly cost of the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program per bottle-feeding mother in North Carolina was $8,686 compared with the $4,848 a year for nutritional support provided by WIC to low-income breastfeeding mothers. An increase in the number of breastfeeding women can result in substantial savings in health expenditures for the government as well as for individuals.
  • Evidence exists of the benefits in gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory problems, allergies, vision and intelligence.
  • Nursing helps most women lose weight (though not fluid) after delivery, as 500 calories or more are used by breastfeeding each day.

Victoria's Secret's model Amanda Kerr supports natural breastfeeding too!
