What are the benefits of breastfeeding for antibodies?
Breastfeeding provides numerous benefits in terms of antibodies. Colostrum, rich in antibodies, gives the newborn a critical boost in immunity. Continued breastfeeding ensures that the baby receives ongoing immune support through various antibodies. This protection is especially important in the first six months of life when the baby's immune system is still maturing. Breastfed infants are generally less susceptible to infections such as gastroenteritis, respiratory infections, and otitis media (ear infections).
