Embracing AAP’s infant feeding recommendations
When babies are fed breastmilk in accordance with the guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), they benefit from a reduced risk of various health conditions. These include lower chances of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections like RSV and diarrhea, as well as decreased susceptibility to asthma, type 2 diabetes, ear infections, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). In addition to the advantages for the baby, breastfeeding also offers advantages for the mother. Mothers who breastfeed have a lower risk of breast and ovarian cancers, as well as decreased likelihood of developing high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. By following the AAP’s recommendations on breastfeeding, both the baby and mother can experience improved health outcomes.
