Mother's milk is the only means of nourishment for a newborn baby. It contains many types of vitamins, sugar, protein, minerals, and antioxidants. Mother's milk provides complete nutrition to the baby and also gives strength to fight many diseases. A mother's thick milk within an hour of birth is the first vaccine for the baby.
Many mothers do not produce milk due to a lack of supplementary food or health problems, due to which they are unable to nourish the child. Children who are adopted by families also prefer to give breast milk instead of formula. However, in such situations, there is a breast milk bank to fulfill the need for the mother's milk in the baby, where women donate the mother's milk.
