Breast milk is the best food for newborns. In the early moments of his life in this world, babies need to learn to suckle from her mother, as well as new mothers first need to learn the proper feeding of governance in order to breastfeed her baby.
There is no man who can not breastfeed, as there is no cat who can not breastfeed their babies. Cats instinctively can only breastfeed, especially people who were degrees, much higher than the cat. It's just a learning process does need to be done.
Exclusive breastfeeding is giving only breast milk to infants, without additional other liquids (such as formula milk, orange juice, honey, tea water) for 6 full months (at least up to 4 months).
Because of the importance of exclusive breastfeeding, WHO (World Health Organization) made a declaration which was initiated in the Innocenti Innocenti, Italy in 1990. The declaration was also signed by Indonesia was created with the aim to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding.
One of the fundamental reasons why exclusive breastfeeding is important for babies is because breast milk is rich in nutrients.

The composition of milk every creature is created by God according to the creature. Breastfeeding is very suitable for the growth of the baby. From minute to minute, from day to day, different milk composition. In fact, each different mother composition contained therein, depending on the condition of the baby. Mothers who give birth to premature babies also have a different composition of breast milk to mothers who delivered at term. Milk that came out at the time of birth until the day of the 4th or 7th (colostrum) is different from the composition of the milk coming out on day-4/7 to day 10 or day 14 after birth (transition). This composition will be different again after day 14 (mature milk). Milk that came out in the first few minutes of breastfeeding is called foremilk, whereas the milk that comes out at the end of lactation called hindmilk.
Breast milk contains taurine, which is a form of albumin that is not found in cow's milk. It is important for the growth of the baby's brain.
Another substance that is essential for the growth of the baby's brain is lactose, which is the main carbohydrate of breast milk. Lactose is only little once found in cow's milk.
Long bond fatty acids (DHA, AA, Omega-3, Omega-6) is a nutrient that is essential for the growth of the baby's brain. The main fatty acid is only slightly contained in cow's milk.
Breast milk contains antibodies that are important for the baby to protect the baby from infection by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. Colostrum contains antibodies as much as 10-17 times more than mature milk (mature). It protects babies from diarrhea. In a study in South Brazil argued that babies who are not breastfed have likely died because of diarrhea 14.2 times more than breastfed babies. Breastfeeding also decreases the likelihood of disease infant ear infections, coughs, colds, and allergic diseases.
Breastfed babies are healthier and less sick than infants who are not exclusively breastfed. It will certainly play a huge role for the future development of the child. So, do not hesitate father or mother. Try as much as possible so that your baby is exclusively breastfed.
