Breast milk has several anti-infective factors, including the anti-malarial factor para-amino benzoic acid
(PABA), the anti-amoebic factor BSSL, lactoferrin, the second most common protein in human milk, that binds to iron and inhibits
the growth of intestinal bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, and IgA' which protects breastfeeding infants from microbial
infection.

Breast milk contains the right amount of the amino acids cystine, methionine and taurine that are essential for
neuronal (brain and nerve) development. A New Zealand study tracking over 1000 children for 8 to 18 years found small but
measurable increases in cognitive ability and education achievement. This remained even after adjusting for other factors (such
as maternal education level).
One study suggests that in resource-poor settings where safe infant formula is unavailable, exclusive
breastfeeding (as compared with "mixed" feeding where breastfeeding is combined with formula, solids or animal milk) may reduce
the risk of HIV transmission from mother to child in infants less than 6 months old.
Unlike human milk, the predominant protein in cow's milk is beta-lactoglobulin, an important factor in cow milk
allergies.
So, now that you have all the reasons in the world to breastfeed your baby, you need a breastfeeding
cover to keep your feedings private and baby comfortable.
