Breast milk is a natural source of nutrition produced by mammary glands, specifically designed to meet the needs of human infants. Originating from mammals, it forms the cornerstone of infant nutrition across all cultures and cuisines globally. Rich in essential nutrients, breast milk includes proteins, healthy fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and antibodies that support growth, brain development, and immune health. It has an ideal balance of bioavailable nutrients tailored to an infant’s developing digestive system, making it easily digestible. Breast milk also contains immunological components, offering protection against infections and diseases. Free of artificial additives and naturally sterile, it’s often regarded as the optimal first food for babies. However, maternal diet and lifestyle can influence breast milk composition, potentially introducing harmful substances if care isn’t taken. Breastfeeding is universally recommended by health organizations for at least the first six months of life due to its unparalleled health benefits.
