Breastfeeding: should you do it?
Its known by everyone that Breastfeeding is best for babies. There is no
disputing the evidence of this fact because of the enormous amount of research
that proves it to be true.
However there are many mothers who don't breastfeed and rely on formula milk due
to time constraints and either a lack of opportunities to breast feed, or a
simple desire to not submit themselves to breast feeding their baby.
Therefore the mother should make up her mind before her baby is born how exactly
she will be feeding her baby. She can't start to bottle feed and then change her
mind, because the supply of milk soon diminishes if it is not used.
The benefits of breast milkThe American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the use of breast milk especially
for those babies who are born premature or become sick. Breast milk is less
likely to trigger any allergic reactions from a newborn baby because not only is
breast milk natural, it is also something that is a part of both the baby and
his mother.
Another advantage of using breast milk is the huge savings made in not having to
buy formulae. Breast milk is free, and it is there on constant demand. Your
child will love it, whereas there may be some formulas they take a dislike to.
Breast milk also contains natural antibodies; these antibodies are passed from
the mother to the baby and help to protect him from infection.
Breast milk is very easily digested, because it is so natural, very little of it
is wasted, and he is receiving all the nutrients he needs.
Breast feeding helps the mother lose weight. it uses up calories, and helps to
trim the figure by pulling the womb back into shape.
If breastfeeding is not possibleDespite the numerous advantages for breastfeeding, there are still some mothers
who either choose to not breast feed, or are unable to do so foe specific
reasons.
• They may not produce enough milk to satisfy the baby. Some mothers can't
produce enough milk and though they may want to breastfeed their baby, their
milk supply forces them to stop
• There are some mothers who hate the pain of the suck reflex when their baby is
feeding. Their nipples may swell and become sore because which makes it even
more painful.
• Many women go back to work soon after delivering their baby; this means they
are unable to feed their baby even if they wish too. Very often pumping milk
becomes a chore and they opt for formulae.
• The mother may become ill or have a specific disease which prevents her from
feeding her baby; she may be taking specific medicines which would be dangerous
for her child.
Whatever the reason, it's important that mothers are not made to feel like
second class citizens if they do decide to bottle feed their child.
