Beginning in utero and on birthing, a baby's gut is still developing and very immature.
In utero the baby is nourished through the umbilicum, with breast milk being the continuum of this nourishing process on birthing. Breast milk is the bridge between the inside and outside world. Breast milk houses natural human nutrients for the immature gut and body systems to continue to develop outside the womb.
Early interference of any kind may cause a reaction, as the immature gut in unable to process any foreign matter. On ingestion, it will set up a memory within cells, especially those lining the digestive system, that react when the same interference is repeated. We are mammals, we thrive on live food, It makes sense to endeavour to 100% breastfeed for as long as possible, especially in the early weeks. This gift sets up the immune system for the future health of each and every individual human being...
Yours in health and happiness
