I chose Breastfeeding because it so important to the child birth. It meaningful to me because breastfeeding is one way for the mother and child to bond in a special way. It also meaningful to me   because your child is getting good nutrient and getting health vitamin from the breast of the mom. It also meaningful to me because your child has a better chance of being a smart child. It’s also meaningful to me so many because there are so many things in the milk now that has the child sick or in the hospital. It also meaningful to me in so many way like  the wic place don’t give the mother enough milk for the child and the mom has to go and buy it, your child food is always with you, the mom don’t have to get up and fix nothing because it’s right there in front of them and etc. In other country breastfeeding is the only way the infant child.

According to the UNICEF in Africa is says that infant formula is not equivalent to breastmilk; it does not contain all the essential nutrients or antibodies to protect children from diarrhea, pneumonia or malnutrition – some of the top causes of death among children under age 5. And child deaths remain a critical problem in South Africa, which currently lags behind the Millennium Development Goal on reducing child mortality.

UNICEF supports exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of life. Breastfeeding provides all the nutrients infants need to grow and strengthens their immune systems as well. It also offer a range of benefits to mothers, such as facilitating bonding and reducing risk of post-partum haemorrhage.

This information has impact my learning in a good way. The first way it has impact because I have clear understanding on why I mother would breastfeed instead of doing the formula. The second way it impact my learning because breastfeeding has their good ways and bad ways to breastfeeding.
