Breast feeding and childhood asthma.
نویسنده
چکیده
Breastmilk promotes normal infant development because it is the natural extension of life after the womb. The human baby, the slowest growing of all mammals, thought to be because of its brain, is considered by some to be born 'prematurely'. Breastfeeding provides immediate nurturing and security beyond the womb as well as continuation of nourishment, protection from disease and maternal bonding which makes the transference to the outside world safer and less harsh.
