What're the positive and / or negative sides to breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breastfeeding: There is nothing but positive points about breastfeeding your baby - most nutritious and best milk, most economical, never needs heating, always available, abundant in protective antibodies. However, a lactose intolerant baby will not be able to enjoy all its benefits.
