Breast feeding

Breastfeeding is the infant's physiological feeding method: best suited to its digestive possibilities and whose composition evolves with the needs of the newborn. It contains numerous antibodies.

On a psycho-emotional level, this type of breastfeeding best fosters mother-child relationships

Infants who are given formula milk suffer more frequently from meningitis, intestinal, respiratory or urinary infections than those who are breastfed.

Breastfed newborns receive protection thanks to the antibodies, immunostimulating proteins and immune cells in the milk maternal.

The colostrum (milk from the first feedings) contains interferon and anti-viral substances. Fibronectin molecules minimize inflammation. Macrophages, also abundant in colostrum, secrete lisozyme, an enzyme that destroys bacteria by damaging their cell walls.
