God be he blessed and exalted says: (The
mothers shall give suck to their children for two whole years, (that
is) for those (parents) who desire to complete the term of suckling)[Surat al-Baqarah, verse: 233].
The explanation of the verse:
This
holy verse confirms that the period of complete breastfeeding is two
years, so what have scientists found around this period?
Scientific facts:
Scientists
have found that the complete food for a baby is in his mother's milk
and that this nourishment wouldn't be complete unless the mother
breastfeeds her baby for two full years! All doctors confirm that the
mother's milk is completely free of bacteria and it is preferable for
the baby than any artificial baby milk. Doctors have observed that the
children who take artificial milk in feeding bottles are often subjected
to various infections even if this bottle is sterile!
It
was shown in a modern medical conference that the ideal period of
breastfeeding is two years because the child during these two years is
in urgent need for antibodies to develop his immune system and these
antibodies aren't present except in mother's milk.
The point of inimitability:
Thus,
scientists have discovered that breast milk contains antibacterial
immune substances. The Quran told us about the suitable period for
developing the child's immune system and that these antibodies couldn't
be found except in mother's milk as God be he exalted says: (The
mothers shall give suck to their children for two whole years, (that
is) for those (parents) who desire to complete the term of suckling) [Surat al-Baqarah, verse: 233]. And the words (two whole years) to confirm the importance of completing the two years and this is what scientists confirm nowadays.
