Breast Feeding
 

Here at the Leitchfield Pediatric Clinic, P.S.C., we encourage breast feeding. Breast milk is the best milk for babies. Breast fed infants have fewer infections during the first year of life than formula fed infants. Breast fed babies never have constipation. It is very rare for breast fed infants to be allergic to human milk. Breast milk is inexpensive and always served at just the right temperature. If you are planning the birth of a child, please talk with us about the advantages of breast feeding.
