There are many professional groups and mothers that support breastfeeding, including the American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics.  Breast milk is indeed the perfect food for baby, thus the old adage 'breast is best' does hold weight within the medical community

Breast feeding offers many advantages for newborns including:

• Contains vitamins and minerals that your baby requires.
• Most breastfed babies have fewer allergies later in life.
• Mother's milk provides the baby with enzymes and antibodies that help boost immunity.
• Breast milk adapts as your babies grow, providing the ideal food source.
• Breast milk is typically easier on a baby's digestive system.
