TALES FREQUENTLY TOLD TO BREAST FEEDERS
According to online resource:
New mothers are
frequently told tales of why it is better not to breastfeed, these tales may
include:
- A lot of mothers don’t produce enough milk for their babies. This is untrue. Nursing moms actually produce more than enough milk to feed more than one baby.
- Today’s scientifically developed formulas are just as good as breast milk. Wrong. Breast milk is the only ‘perfect’ milk for baby which is served in the correct proportions and which contains all the necessary nutrients.
At the end of the
day, it is the mother’s choice and when the time comes to make the decision to
breastfeed or not to – it is important for the first-time mom to be aware of
the facts and carefully weigh up the pros and cons of both options.

According to online resources the following benefit is accrued to both the baby and the mother:
- Moms who breast feed burn more fat – this helps them to get back their pre-pregnancy figures and shed those ‘baby’ kilos.
- Studies have shown breastfeeding (even for a period of six months) can offer good, long term benefits, such as the reduced risk of heart disease in adulthood, and obesity.
- The proteins and fats which are found only in mother’s milk enhance brain development.
- Bottle fed babies are prone to thrush and nappy rash mainly due to the bottle teats not being correctly sterilized, breastfeeding moms do not have this concern.
- The suckling action is far stronger in a breastfed baby than a bottle fed baby, hence breastfeeding encourages good jaw and teeth development.
- Rich in natural antibodies, the milk is a defense against common infections and the antibodies will give baby’s under-developed immune system, a powerful boost.
- Allergies like asthma and eczema are a lot less common in babies or children who have been breastfed.
- Breast milk serves one single purpose and that is to feed a baby and as such, the milk is packed with all the nutrients, minerals and vitamins to ensure growth and development. http://multiskilledprofessionals4all.blogspot.com/
