			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>I struggled with giving up bottled water thinking how can I drink that polluted tap stuff until I learned a few facts. My first step was realizing 21 years ago before I was born most people didn&#8217;t drink bottled water. My second step was finding out most bottled waters aren&#8217;t any better then most tap waters. It is said that 40% of bottled water is tap water. I also had to take into consideration what the plastic waste was doing to our enviroment even with recycling them. I gained final confidence was being able to test any water at any time with  the<a target="_blank" href="http://www.discovertesting.com/products/display_products_overviews.sd?iid=1&amp;headtitle=Drinking%20Water%20Test%20Kits" target="_blank"> <strong>water testing kit</strong>.</a> Showing me right before my every eyes it is safe water to drink. You too can do this and hopefully spread the word. Our country needs to get back on track with drink water without filling up our land with plastic  bottles. Not convinced yet, test your bottled water and see how it may not be any better. If you find out that you have bad contaminates in your water check out a purifying system to put on your faucet. Will you take that challenge?

Even if you are able to do it for only a short time, your baby&#8217;s immune system can benefit from breast milk. Here are many other benefits of breast milk for a mother, her baby, and others:<br />
<strong>BENEFITS FOR BABY</strong>:</p>
<p>Breast milk has agents (called antibodies) in it to help protect infants from bacteria and viruses. Recent studies show that babies who are not exclusively breastfed for 6 months are more likely to develop a wide range of infectious diseases including ear infections, diarrhea, respiratory illnesses and have more hospitalizations. Also, infants who are not breastfed have a 21% higher postneonatal infant mortality rate in the U.S.</p>
<p>*Some studies suggest that infants who are not breastfed have higher rates of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in the first year of life, and higher rates of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, lymphoma, leukemia, Hodgkin&#8217;s disease, overweight and obesity, high cholesterol and asthma. More research in these areas is needed (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2005).</p>
<p>Babies who are not breastfed are sick more often and have more doctor&#8217;s visits. Also, when you breastfeed, there are no bottles and nipples to sterilize. Unlike human milk straight from the breast, infant formula has a chance of being contaminated.</p>
<p>Breast milk is the most complete form of nutrition for infants. A mother&#8217;s milk has just the right amount of fat, sugar, water, and protein that is needed for a baby&#8217;s growth and development. Most babies find it easier to digest breast milk than they do formula. As a result, breastfed infants grow exactly the way they should. They tend to gain less unnecessary weight and to be leaner. This may result in being less overweight later in life. Premature babies do better when breastfed compared to premature babies who are fed formula. Breastfed babies score slightly higher on IQ tests, especially babies who were born pre-maturely.</p>
<p><strong>BENEFITS FOR MOM:</strong></p>
<p>Nursing uses up extra calories, making it easier to lose the pounds of pregnancy. It also helps the uterus to get back to its original size and lessens any bleeding a woman may have after giving birth.</p>
<p>Breastfeeding, especially exclusive breastfeeding (no supplementing with formula), delays the return of normal ovulation and menstrual cycles. (However, you should still talk with your doctor or nurse about birth control choices.) Breastfeeding lowers the risk of breast and ovarian cancers, and possibly the risk of hip fractures and osteoporosis after menopause.</p>
<p>Breastfeeding makes your life easier. It saves time and money. You do not have to purchase, measure, and mix formula. There are no bottles to warm in the middle of the night! A mother can give her baby immediate satisfaction by providing her breast milk when her baby is hungry.</p>
<p>Breastfeeding requires a mother to take some quiet relaxed time for herself and her baby. Breastfeeding can help a mother to bond with her baby. Physical contact is important to newborns and can help them feel more secure, warm and comforted.Breastfeeding mothers may have increased self-confidence and feelings of closeness and bonding with their infants.</p>
<p><strong>BENEFITS FOR SOCIETY</strong>:</p>
<p>Breastfeeding saves on health care costs. Total medical care costs for the nation are lower for fully breastfed infants than never-breastfed infants since breastfed infants typically need fewer sick care visits, prescriptions, and hospitalizations.</p>
<p>Breastfeeding contributes to a more productive workforce. Breastfeeding mothers miss less work, as their infants are sick less often. Employer medical costs also are lower and employee productivity is higher.</p>
<p>Breastfeeding is better for our environment because there is less trash and plastic waste compared to that produced by formula cans and bottle supplies.</p>
<p>As a whole breastfeeding is the more natural way to go.
