Breastfeeding

The benefits of breastfeeding are an undeniable fact. What are the causes of such statements? And why does artificial feeding not stand any competition in nursing? The answers to such questions lie in the psychological, physiological and practical fields.

The psychology of newborn babies is still unstable. The baby was born from a warm and protected place in my mother's stomach. Sounds, light, temperature difference - at the level of sensations cause the baby discomfort. The process of feeding a child is a way of communicating and communicating with the baby's mother. Psychologists say that the children who were attached to the chest immediately after birth are much more tolerant of the stress caused by their appearance in the external world. Being next to her mother, feeling the physical contact in her, hearing her heartbeat, the baby calms down, feeling that the protection is near. It is not for nothing that the first way to calm a crying baby is to breastfeed a baby. In later life, the crumbs, who have received invaluable experience of communicating with the mother through breastfeeding, are much less exposed to the danger of stress, they differ in higher intellectual development, better adapt in the external environment.

There is no doubt about the physiological benefit that the feeding of the baby gives to the baby. Breast milk is safe for the baby, sterile, it can not be cooked incorrectly. The erroneous opinion is the danger of infection of the baby through breast milk, in case the mother has caught a cold. Moreover, breast milk provides newborn baby with antibodies and leukocytes, which together represent a reliable protection of the baby against infections. It is proved that breast milk can reduce the risk of developing bronchial asthma, the child's body is less prone to allergic reactions.

Breastfeeding has a beneficial effect on the formation of a proper bite in a child, and the child's susceptibility to caries is significantly less in those infants who were breastfed. Breastfeeding the baby causes the baby to actively work in the process of sucking, while feeding from the bottle does not require any effort from the baby. The use of active sucking movements is that this is the first active action the newborn is taking.

Do not forget that breastfeeding allows you to provide the baby with an individual food that is optimal for his needs. For each specific period of the baby's development, the milk of the mother produces the required amount of protein, vitamins, microelements, hormones. Remarkable properties of breast milk are such that during the heat the milk contains more liquid, and during the cutting of the teeth the milk will be saturated with calcium, during the period of the disease in the milk of the mother, antibodies, lysozyme and macrophages so necessary for the baby appear.

Even the taste of mother's milk is much more pleasant. Taste sensations from the artificial mixture remain much less pleasant, and at once it is felt that the food has canned origin. Breastmilk always remains fresh, natural, sweet.

What else is contained in breast milk? Four hundred different components are the composition of breast milk, while the artificial mixture allows the baby to provide only 40 kinds of ingredients. In addition, breastfeeding is of practical value to the mother. After all, it does not require binding to the bottles, allowing the mother to travel with a crumb, regardless of the hours of feeding and the presence or absence of warm food. Mom's breast milk - always nearby, always ready, always tasty and fresh!
