"Adults can be vaccinated but for babies, breastmilk acts as their first vaccine." Breastmilk has the essential nutrients, antibodies, hormones and antioxidants that help boost a baby's immune system and provide protection against infections. After researching breastfeeding, 32-year-old Watcharaporn Pattarasattayakorn was convinced that breastmilk is the first "vaccine" for her child and would give her a good start in life. She could easily seek help from professionals at the hospital's breastfeeding centre if anything went wrong. So while professional treatment at the breastfeeding centre was temporarily unavailable, she managed to treat the spots by herself.
