Evolution

Breast milk is important because evolution is determining and breast milk is a product of natural selection for evolutionary success.

Emotion

Foundational behavioral concepts for evolutionary success

Physiology

Understanding breast milk production promotes success

Avoiding Hazards

A few to mention. Remember that formula feeding is a worldwide risk to vulnerable infants and their mothers by denying them the safety of basic evolutionary benefits

Problems and Solutions

Treatment provides benefits for mother and child and protects evolutionary advantage

Summary

There are no benefits to breastfeeding – breastfeeding is the norm
