It's the perfect food for your perfect baby, and it's made just by you. Breast milk. Amazing nourishment your body naturally makes, giving your little one everything he needs to grow healthy and strong each and every day. Breast milk provides the best source of nourishment for your baby because it:

• Contains the perfect balance of nutrients
• Contributes antibodies to protect your baby from disease and illness
• Changes to meet the nutritional needs of your baby during each feeding and as your baby grows

The amazing benefits of breast milk don't end there. For as many reasons as breast-feeding is best for baby, there's also a number of reasons breast milk is best for mom:

• Your uterus may return to its normal, pre-pregnancy size faster
• It's convenient and it's free - breast-feeding can be done anytime and anywhere, with virtually no equipment and no expense to mom

Breast milk is the most nutritionally complete food you can give your baby. That's why experts recommend exclusive breast-feeding for the first 6 months of your baby's life, with continued breast-feeding up to 2 years of age and on, or for as long as you can.

Only you can decide how to feed your baby. Talk to your physician and the people you trust. Get the information you need, and feel good about every decision you make - because you'll always do what's best for your baby. After all, only the best is good enough.
