5. Breast feeding benefits: · Perfect food; cannot be duplicated
· Decreases illness in infants
· Maternal antibodies are transferred to infants
· Decreased GI problems such as GERD
· Decreases allergies as it contains anti-inflammatory agents
· Breastfeeding during painful procedures provides analgesia
· The longer the mom breastfeeds, the less chance of the child to be overweight
independent of education and socioeconomic status
6. Recommended time to exclusive breast feed: 6 months and feed on
demand
7. · Adequate nutrition confirmed by weight gain up to 3 months: o 30 g/day
(1 oz/day) for the first 3 months
o Gain of 15-20 g/day during subsequent 3 months
8. · Vitamin Supplementation: o Vitamin D (400 IU per day at 2 months of age to
adolescence
o Vitamin B12 for breastfeeding mothers who are strict vegetarians
9. Iron supplementation: o For exclusively breast-fed infants: approximately 1
mg/kg/day of iron is recommended after 6 months of age o Bottle feeding should
contain iron supplementation o Ideally iron should come from fortified cereals o
Elemental iron supplements can be given if iron intake from diet is not adequate
10. · Fluoride Supplementation: o Supplements only when local water supply is
less than 0.3 parts per million (ppm) o Supplementation first 6 months of life
