MOTHER’S MILK...

The feeding of a new human being, which has grown from the transfor-
mation of a sperm to a baby, is a miracle on its own. Human milk is the best
nutrition possible, and it is produced neither by the mother’s help nor by any-
one else’s.
Thanks to the substances in its composition, mother’s milk is both an excel-
lent food-source for the newborn and a substance that increases the resistance
of the mother as well as the baby to diseases. Doctors agree that artificial baby
food should only be preferred if the milk of the mother is not adequate, and
that babies should be fed with mother’s milk,
THE SUCKING REFLEX
especially in the first months. Now, let us look
at the features of this milk:
* The most interesting aspect of mother’s
milk is that its concentration changes according
to the developmental phases of the baby. The
amount of calories and the food content change
according to whether the baby’s delivery was
premature or on time. If the baby is premature,
the fat and protein concentration is higher in the
mother’s milk than a baby would normally
need, because the premature baby needs more
calories.
* Immune system elements that the baby
Babies are born from their mother’s
needs, such as antibodies or defence cells, are womb with the reflex to suck. Their
given to the baby ready-made in the mother’s sucking exercises, which start with
thumb sucking in the womb, have a
milk. Just like professional soldiers, they defend
vital importance in the feeding of
the body to which they do not belong and pro- the baby after birth, because there
is no other way for the baby to get
tect the baby from its enemies
milk, which is its only food source.
* It is antibacterial. Although bacteria are
produced in normal milk if it is left at room temperature for six hours, no bac-
teria are produced in mother’s milk if left for the same period.
* It protects the baby against arteriosclerosis.
* The baby quickly digests it.
We know that none of the artificial baby food produced in modern labora-
tories by expert dieticians is as beneficial as the natural mother’s milk. How can
we answer the question, "Who produced this baby milk in a human body when
the mother herself is even unaware of its production, and yet it is superior to
those produced in laboratory conditions"? It is very clear that mother’s milk is
brought into being by the Creator of the baby who is in need of this milk....
