Benefits of Breast Milk for Infants

Breastfeeding is not only a way to feed a baby but also the true foundation of healthy development. In this article, we will look at the benefits of breast milk, explain why it remains valuable at different stages of a child’s life, and explore what to do if a baby has difficulties digesting milk — and how MAMALAC drops can help.

Why is breast milk so important for infants?

Breast milk contains more than 200 components that support natural growth and development. The main carbohydrate is lactose. When broken down, it provides:

• glucose – the primary source of energy;
• galactose – essential for brain and nervous system development.

Breast milk is also rich in calcium, iron, and trace elements needed for bone formation and proper body function.

Benefits of breast milk at different stages

• First months – complete nutrition that fully meets the baby’s needs.
• After 6 months – helps a child adapt to complementary foods and supports digestion.
• After 1 year – continues to be a valuable source of nutrients and contributes to a balanced diet.

Key breast milk factors providing immune protection

Breast Milk Factor	Role / Function
Immunoglobulins (Ig G, Ig M, Ig A, sIgA)	Provide local immunity, stimulate the immune system, and support humoral protection
B- and T-lymphocytes	Cellular defense factors that shape the immune response
Lipids with anti-staphylococcal action	Act as an anti-staphylococcal factor, inhibiting bacterial growth
Complement system	Contributes to bacterial lysis, enhancing immune protection
Interferon	Acts as an antiviral factor, preventing virus replication

What to do if a baby has difficulties digesting milk?

Some infants’ digestive systems do not produce enough enzyme to break down lactose. As a result, lactose can ferment in the intestines, causing bloating, gas, and discomfort.

Mamalac Drops – support for lactase deficiency

MAMALAC is a dietary supplement with the lactase enzyme that helps break down lactose and supports proper digestion of breast milk or formula. This reduces the likelihood of colic and makes feeding more comfortable.

Benefits of Mamalac:

• can be used from the first day of life;
• natural composition, free from flavors and colorants;
• convenient drop format;

How to use Mamalac drops
