Many unfortunate kids face cessation of breastfeeding very early in their life. Sometimes within month. Most of the times, within 3 months. This is very painstaking for growing digestive track.
Based on intestinal development, food should alter gradually. Because, based on it, Gut Microbes will alter their population in GUT (Read: Prana combinations in GUT changes as intestine grows).
And GUT microbes decides functioning of the brain and general intellectual and emotional parameters.
So in short, cessation of breastfeeding is done is very critical decision. Generally, for first 6 months, exclusive feeding is prescribed. And slowly, weaning is performed after 18 months.
No wonder why so many kids I see around has no emotional bonding with family. Many of them borderline autistic. Delay in growth signs.
Also, there are unnecessary C-section. They also add up to initial stress.
Bottle fed children face so much trauma in digesting food that their development is compromised due to lack of GUT Prana i.e. Gut Microbes,
This is critical National service. Please take care. Educate parents around.

The infant gut microbiome: New studies on its origins and how it’s knocked out of balance

“Our results underscore the role of breast-feeding in the shaping and succession of gut microbial communities during the first year of life,” the authors write. “The gut microbiota of children no longer breast-fed was enriched in species belonging to Clostridia that are prevalent in adults, such as Roseburia, Clostrium, and Anaerostipes. In contrast, Bifidobacteriumand Lactobacillus still dominated the gut microbiota of breast-fed infants at 12 months.”

The Infant Gut and Antibiotics: Long-Term Effects
Antibiotics account for one quarter of all medications given to children, with a third of prescriptions considered unnecessary. In addition to concerns about antibiotic resistance, these drugs are known to disrupt a child’s gut microbiome in ways that a growing amount of evidence suggests may have long-term consequences, including obesity, allergies, and autoimmune diseases.
Based on a review of the literature, biotechnologist Dan Knights, of the University of Minnesota, and colleagues developed a framework for how antibiotics may be acting in the gut to cause these outcomes. In the case of allergies, for example, the use of antibiotics may eradicate key gut bacteria that help immune cells mature. These cells would have been essential for keeping the immune system at bay when confronted with allergens. Even if these bacteria return, the immune system remains impaired.
“The framework presented here links together the existing epidemiological and mechanistic studies on antibiotics and various gut-mediated disease outcomes,” the authors write. “Large, integrated studies designed to focus on short- and long-term impact of antibiotics, in terms of both microbiome composition and disease risk, with careful consideration of the factors presented here, will be critical as we move toward an increased understanding of related disease etiologies.”
