When you become a mother or father, your baby becomes your most important priority. You probably wish that he/she has a great development during their first months and years of life, that’s why we would like to share some tips to help you. Now we are going to share some benefits of breast milk for babies.

Did you know that breast milk starts producing in the second trimester of the pregnancy?

This is produced in the mammary glands, and if you breastfeed your baby regularly, you will be able to produce more milk. Remember that the stomach of the newborns is very small, that is why they need to be fed a couple times a day.

What benefits are offered to the baby?

• The milk has antibodies that protect the baby from prevalent illnesses and it decreases the risks.
• It has all the necessary nutrients for his/hers development.
• It keeps the baby hydrated and it has easy digestion.
• It created an effective link between the mother and the baby.
• It has some beneficial effects in the baby’s health long term.

How should you breastfeed?

Having the correct posture while breastfeeding your baby, this can make the experience something special and comfortable.

If the baby isn’t placed in the right position, it can cause discomforts, pain or swelling in the nipples.
The most important thing is to find a comfortable place where you can sit and rest your back.

Now with your baby, place his/her head in the fold of your arm so that he/her can place the head.

The baby’s chin has touched the boob and his/her mouth must be open enough so that the areola is as inside as possible. Also you must be sure that you aren’t obstructing the baby’s breath.

What food is the best and which ones must be avoided?

Recommended:

• Fruits and vegetables.
• Food of animal origin: meat, fish, some dairy products and eggs. Integral cereals.

Avoid:

• Irritable or spicy food.
• Caffeine; could be coffee, tea or sodas.
• Some dairy products.
