Answer: Breast feeds

When a baby is first born, s/he needs to be breast fed. This is because breast feeding gives a baby the nutrition it needs, and is much safer than bottle feeding right away.

An interesting note: Although breast feed is technically two words, it can also be formed into one word, either with a hyphen, or not. Therefore, the one doing the breastfeeding is known as the breastfeeder. If there are more than one, they are breastfeeders, a 13 letters word, even longer than the most commonly presumed longest left handed word of 12 letters "stewardesses."
