Today's topic is Breastfeeding.
Breast milk is the best food for a baby.The health organization recommends a baby should have exclusive breask milk(no other food) for at least 6 months.It is not only providing the best food for the baby but also helping to build bonding between the mom and the baby,to protecting baby from getting infections and saving money from expensive fomula milk products.
For the mom, breastfeeding her baby can help to prevent breast cancer,biabetes,ovarian cancer and a better recovery from deliverying a baby.
We learned how to know the baby get enough breastmilk or not, what to do if the breastmilk is too little or too much,how long and how often shall we breastfeed a baby,how and when to stop breastfeeding,where to get help if a new mom has trouble to breastfeed her baby,what resources there to help out etc...
In one word, breastfeeding is the best. Every new mom should do the best to breastfeed her baby.As long as you insist on doing it, the more baby sucks your breasts, the brain tells your body to produce more milk for the baby. Persistance is very important.
Breastfeeding is a skill and may take time to learn. New moms,don't give up easily to breastfeed your babies.
I will also do my best. It may be hard for the beginning but I want the best for my baby.
Wish I will do well.
