Breastfeeding is the single most important act to satisfy nutritional and spiritual needs of the baby and has great impact on its overall well-being.

1. Breastfeeding - Spiritual Importance and Benefits
During pregnancy mother and embryo are physically and spiritually one - heart to heart,
soul to soul. Baby evolves shielded inside the womb and the future mother has time to
get prepared and establish a profound spiritual bond of love with the little one. Helpful in
this case would be a true spiritual practice such as Love Prayer to God. Even after the
baby is born and the umbilical cord discontinued the little one still totally depends upon
the mom - for food, safety, love and care.
Early separation from the mother is something practiced widely by young mothers in the
modern Western world, without being aware of the full price such separation has.
Material well-being and careers are put before well-being of the small children. Many
mothers return to their full time jobs, as early as few weeks after the birth, just because
they need money to pay for the inappropriate life style established earlier - mortgages
for big houses, new cars etc., or go back to their careers pursuing higher social status
and recognition. Such early separation may cause deep emotional trauma in the baby:
being less love worthy or abandoned. This kind of traumas are extremely difficult to cure
and the healing may take thousands of years if at all. On the other side, according to the
Law of Karma, mothers may likely experience the same in their future incarnations. Truly
loving mothers extend direct physical connection and keep their babies near their hearts
as long as needed.

and spiritual needs of the newborn
This natural process of closeness is of utmost importance for the spiritual well-being of
the baby and will shape its communicative behavior and sexual conduct as adult. During
breastfeeding spiritual heart of the mother is more open and baby is also drinking in
love. The exchange of love creates feeling of happiness and joy within both: mother and
baby. Thus breast milk pumped and stored in the fridge for later use has "zero" love
content.
Mother's milk is the best food for babies because it:
• is a perfect combination of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, supplements and fluids
They are easily digested and absorbed to fulfill the very intense growth and
development needs of the newborn baby and the little child. No formula milk could
substitute the unique ingredients of human milk because formulas are made from
processed cow milk - the proteins of cow milk are different and hard to digest and
some babies have tummy problems or develop allergic reaction and health
problems for years.
• reduces the risk of allergies such as atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma, and
may protect the child from chronic stomach problems;
• promotes significantly the growth and maturation of the baby's digestive system,
which is not accomplished until around 6 months of age;
• carries immune factors which protect the baby from many different infections:
gastrointestinal infections, respiratory infection, meningitis, ear infections and
urinary tract infections;
• contains the fatty acids essential for the development of the baby's nervous

Breastfeeding is also the most convenient method of feeding: mother's milk comes
always fresh, delicious, naturally clean and warm. There is no preparation and it is
always available and free.
Lactation is beneficial for the mother too. The act of breastfeeding stimulates the
recovery of the womb and reduces the risk of developing breast cancer, ovarian cancer
and endometrial carcinoma. Breastfeeding mother is a happy mother, giving plenty of
love and the best nourishment to her baby and enjoys emotional and hormonal balance
and happy family life.
Happy baby grows strong and healthy and is like a sunshine for the whole family.
