Breast milk is said to be easily digested in newborns, offers the opportunity for skin-to-skin contact, and helps fight infections, among other things (as cited in article, “Breastfeeding versus artificial feeding”, paragraph 7). In particular, babies benefit psychologically from breast milk. Mother and baby have the opportunity to bond, which strengthens maternal affection, and babies also develop a sense of trust and attachment with their mother. The authors of Clinic Perintalogy state that “Feeding human milk (the baby's mother's milk, excluding donor milk) during the NICU stay reduces the risk of short- and long-term morbidity in premature infants.”.
