Breastfeed Until Two Years

Incessant advertising of formula milk is suspected to weaken further the determination of the mother to continue to give milk. In fact, breast milk should be given until the baby is two years old.

Although the formula is made with components as closely as possible with the mother's milk , milk remains irreplaceable. During the first six months of baby's life, breast milk meets 100 percent of the babies.

Component in breast milk is very specific, prepared to meet the needs and development of infants. Breast milk provides immunity for babies because it already contained anti-viral and anti cancer. The baby was also not easy to infection. That is why infant mortality is lower breastfed.

Meanwhile, for babies aged 6 months upwards, breast milk still meet 70 percent of infants. 30 percent in the can from other foods, but not the formula. This is because at the age of 6 months babies are introduced to solid foods, baby food because it must contain nutrients and nutrients needed.

The new cow's milk may be given when the baby turns two years old. At this age baby's intestines are good and have strong immune system. Two-year-old child should have trained their independence by not feeding anymore.

Breastfeeding up to two-year-old baby is in line with international ethical codes and recommendations of the world health body (WHO). In 1981 the WHO and Unicef regulate the marketing of infant formula milk substitute marketing code and alot some of develop country so far has not ratified the code. Ads milk and baby food are heavily misleading mothers.
