According to the survey most of the mother preferred breast feeding to their

infants due to its availability and knowledge that breast feeding is one effective measure

in ensuring the health and nutrition of their babies. Breast milk is the best for babies

because it contains colostrums, the thick and yellowish fluid usually produce in the first

suck of the baby to the mother’s breast. The advantage of breastfeeding over

commercially prepared milk formula is that it has the nutrient and antibodies that a

growing infant needs. The child who was breastfed develops more resistance from

disease than the child who was given only commercially prepared milk.
