The closeness of mom and baby during breastfeeding gives mom the opportunity to glance down at baby and smile, establishing a special BOND (Reneau, A. 2013).
UNICEF (2005) study states that 1.5 million children die each year from not being breastfed. Out of those children, more than 3,000 of them are dying every day from bottle infections (Hunt, 2006 para 1).
