All those moms who breastfeed their babies are gifting their child a healthy life ahead. It is found that breastfed babies are at lower risk of heart disease in their future life. This study has made moms to stop feeding their babies with bottled milk for avoiding heart diseases in them. The study has showed how essential the mother’s milk is to the baby, even to stay away from major heart diseases.

The growing trend of moms who have not accepted the breastfeeding seriously, visible from the figures of last year showing a drop in the percent of mothers who breastfed their babies. If we look to the positive effects of breastfeeding, we can find that those adults who were breastfed while infants were fifty-five percent more likely to possess high levels of good cholesterol. This protects the person from heart diseases and other heart ailments. Another positive side of breastfeeding is it reduces the chances of obesity; those who are breastfed have a lower body mass index (BMI) in comparison to those who have been bottle-fed in childhood.

It was noticed that in many cases mothers avoid breastfeeding their babies either due to their highly professional chores or some prefer to avoid for being in shape. Many such reasons have been the main concern for moms not taking this matter seriously, but after the research, again the fact is clear that how essential the mothers milk is for the baby. According to Dr Nisha Parikh, lead researcher on the study, said: “This was a modest reduction in BMI, but even a modest reduction leads to significantly reduced risk of cardiovascular disease-related death.”

Many experts and child researchers pointed out the fact that even though the study revealed the good effects of breastfeeding for babies, but at some phase mothers should be left at their own stand. Mother should not be suppressed to breastfeed their babies, it should be left to them, otherwise it should lead them into some pressure and worry. As there are many children doing great even after being bottle-fed in early days, so mother should themselves understand the benefits of breastfeeding and make their own decision without any guilt.
