Does Breast Feeding At An Older Age Offer Any Benefits?
hello i am a boy aged 19. My mother's age is 40. I have low immunity power. And to solve this problem my mother decided to breast feed me . Because we heard that breast milk has high immune power and my question is 'if it is ok to breast feed from my mother at this age ?'

Hello,
Where from you got this wrong information? For a mother to have breast milk, she should deliver a child. The breast milk will be available only up to a maximum of 3 years from the childbirth or it will replete shortly after breastfeeding is stopped. At any cost, at this age, your mother will not have breast milk to improve your immunity, you should consult a doctor in person.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand, Psychologist
