As the saying goes, breast is best, but deciding whether or not to breastfeed your new baby is a big decision. Mum Mum's regularly highlights new scientific studies illustrating the many health benefits of breastfeeding yet many women are still not entirely sold on the idea. Here are 10 reasons to breastfeed your baby

What is it?
A baby who refuses to breastfeed, and is not in the process of being weaned, is said to be on a "nursing strike." A nursing strike is your baby's way of telling you that something's wrong. And it'll probably take a little detective work to figure out the problem.
What causes it?
According to the La Leche League International, some of the most common reasons for a nursing strike include:

"The study did not suggest that breast augmentation impeded breastfeeding. In fact, other research has proven that most women who have such a procedure can successfully breastfeed their baby. "

Perhaps adding additional credo to the reasons to breastfeed list, China is in the hot seat again with yet another tainted children's product. Only this time, the product in question is infant formula. In response to reports of a contaminated milk-based formula, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Health Information Advisory.
