Did you know that breast milk can protect a baby from bacteria that could kill it?

According to a team of the Department of Specialized, Diagnostic and Experimental Medicine of the University of Bologna, our body is made up of 37.2 billion cells ... do you have many? ... Well, the Weizmann Institute of Science of Israel, revealed that there are fewer of 40 billion bacteria, which are, both outside and inside our body. So relatively little is the difference between human cells and bacteria.

But for a newborn, this situation could still be dangerous. This is because your immune system has not yet finished developing. Barely a day old and the bacteria are already beginning to attack him and as he can not fight only against germs, these invisible beings can be lethal to the child's organism ... And now, who can help?

This is where the mother comes into action with breast milk. As there is close contact with the baby, the germs that are attacking the infant also attack the mother, but since she has a developed immune system, she creates antibodies that destroy the bacteria and, through milk, transfer those antibodies to her child.

And as long as it does not finish configuring the immune system of the baby, it will be the mother who will keep it safe. Therefore, it is expected that in the first stages, he would consume approximately half a liter of breast milk per day. This will give you the necessary nutrients and will also protect you from some dangers that can not be seen with the naked eye.
