Have you ever heard of the backwash effect?

When your baby breastfeeds, a small amount of their saliva is absorbed back into your nipple. This triggers an immune response, prompting your body to produce specific antibodies. These antibodies are then passed back to your baby through your milk to help them fight off infections!

Did you know your baby uses 26 muscles with every swallow?

Breastfeeding requires nearly perfect feeding skills. This is why nearly every breastfed baby can easily bottle feed because they are already perfect eaters.

Does your child open his or her mouth and suck on your finger when you place it near or in his or her mouth? Even one suck counts and you will answer yes below!
