Nature Knows Best
Science has once again proven that nature knows best. A study has shown that a mother’s breast milk changes throughout the day. Therefore, not only is breast milk the most nutritious source of food for your baby, the baby should nurse naturally for their ultimate healthy nutrition.
Studies have shown that nucleotides, one of many ingredients in breast milk, affect the baby’s nervous system. The levels of nucleotides in breast milk change throughout the day. Nighttime feedings have a level of nutrients that help to relax the baby and daytime feedings have an appropriate, natural, level that stimulate the baby.
Therefore, researchers state that for the ultimate health of a baby, breast milk should be fed to the baby at the same time it is expressed, not stored for later use.
