Breastfeeding
August 27, 2008
There are some basic and proven facts of Breastfeeding. All mothers are blessed with the potential of breastfeeding their baby and that is the most god-gifted method of feeding your newly born baby. Mother’s milk provides proven and confirmed nutrition to the baby in the first 6 months and the child should be breastfed during this period of time as much as possible. Cow’s milk, pasteurized milk, powdered milk, any other food, water or liquid is not required if the baby is being breastfed.
The baby should take breast milk without delay after birth, if possible, within half to one hour after birth. It is essential that the baby is fed on the Colostrum of the mother, which is the first faded yellow colored liquid produced by the milk glands exclusively for the first two to three days after the birth of the baby. A mother should breastfeed the baby on demand and should not deprive the baby of the most vital nutrition. Nothing as such must be fed to the baby to drink before the first breastfeed. Breastfeeding even during sickness is harmless to the baby and mother. Breastfeeding should be prolonged for 2 years or even more.
Feeding with bottle should be avoided as it can affect your baby negatively. It can become the major cause of stomach-infections in babies. Powder milks available in the markets are always lesser in nutritional value in comparison to mother’s milk.
Place your newly born baby on your breast properly right after birth. Mother should always keep on taking water or any other drink while breastfeeding. Feeding makes you thirsty very soon, and water helps in replenishing fluids of the mother’s body, being consumed by the baby. Try to change position of your baby during breastfeeding in order to avoid sore and painful nipples. Customized breast feeding bra would be comfortable for the mother as well as for the baby.
