It takes content of breast milk Infant Brain

There are a number of reasons why babies should get breast milk (breast) milk rather than formula, one of which is to support the development of the infant brain very quickly.
Compared to cow's milk, breast milk contains lactose or main carbohydrate that serves as a source of energy for the brain. Amount of lactose in milk about 7 percent, or nearly two times higher than that of lactose found in cow's milk or formula.
"Lactose in breast milk of the highest compared to other species," said Gusti Ayu dr.I Sp.A Pratama, in a ceremony held on breastfeeding by Pigeon in Jakarta, Thursday (23.05.13).
The content is not less important is the AA and DHA. Although some formula milk products also contain two fatty acids, but there is a lipase in breast milk that makes the absorption of AA and DHA is more optimal. 



"If there is no formula that this enzyme is questionable whether the newborn intestine can absorb DHA," said the doctor who is usually called the Tiwi doctor.

After all, the component AA and DHA in formula is not necessarily as good as that found in breast milk.
No wonder the few studies suggest that infants who received breast milk have better cognitive abilities than infants fed cow's milk.
"Breast milk contains the components required for the brain, whereas cows more components to build muscle. Son of man That's why it took 180 days to reach two times the birth weight, while calves only need 47 days," said dr.Tiwi.
