Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar just announced that milk prices are going to increase. The public is outraged and claims that this is just a political move by the minister. Whether this just part of the usual stuff that politicians do or not, I think that now is the best time for moms to start thinking about breastfeeding.
Researchers say that breast milk contains elements that are essential in boosting an infant's immune system. Not only is it good for babies but it's beneficial for moms as well. Breastfeeding actually helps new moms get their old figure back quickly. Also, it fosters a strong bond between mothers and babies. What's most important of all is that parents can save a substantial amount of money if they choose to feed their babies the natural way.
But if you don't produce much breast milk, don't feel guilty. Formulas are not bad. It's just that it's cheaper to feed your infant breast milk than formula. Those who have an abundant supply of natural milk are just very lucky.
