Breastfeeding, Benefits for the Baby
If you could protect your son by giving him a protection that's within your grasp, you would.??
Hello dear friends Steemians
I greet you from my little corner of Steemit, where I have the opportunity to connect with you. On this occasion I share valuable information for the growth of love for the family, in this particular case for our most precious treasure, our children: I will tell you a little about the benefits of BREASTFEEDING presented in English.

Breast milk is the first natural food for children, it provides the energy and nutrients needed for their first months; it contains carbohydrates, proteins and fat in the amount needed for the first months of life, although it does not remain alone in the first months of life, as it continues to provide up to 50% of the nutritional needs until two years of life, in addition to providing the digestive proteins, vitamins, minerals and hormones required, breast milk is a great source of antibodies that prevent the baby from getting sick.
Did you know that? ... Several agencies around the world, including OMS and UNICEF, are promoting exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, and then fortification with complementary foods for at least two years.
A breastfed baby will be at less risk for:
• Allergies
• Ear infections
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Skin diseases (such as eczema)
• Stomach or intestinal infections
• Respiratory diseases, such as pneumonia and bronchiolitis
• Diabetes
• Obesity or weight problems
• 60-73% less risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SMSL)
• Tooth decay in the teeth
• Reduces child mortality (affirmed by the World Health Organization)
• Childhood Cancer *
The consumption of this milk brings a lot of benefits, here some of its content and advantages:
Colostrum plays an important role in the development of the baby and its immune system, it is called colostrum; to the first drops of milk with a white to yellow appearance, rich in nutrients and antibodies necessary for the baby's first hours, contains the substance responsible for forming the protective layer on the mucous membranes in the intestines, nose and throat of the baby, away from viruses, bacteria and infections, with just a few drops of colostrum, begins the whole process of strengthening the baby, while his small stomach of approximately 7 milliliters is satisfied and your baby happy.
The composition of breast milk changes according to the growth of the baby, adapting to meet the needs of its development, as highlighted in the previous paragraph, the antibodies in this milk help the baby to fight different types of bacteria, viruses and infections, with the benefit of coming directly from the mother, she works according to the dangers she perceives in the environment, this being an exclusive reinforcement for the needs of your baby.
Less risk to allergies in general, two fundamental factors are included in this point, firstly the lower exposure of the baby to fewer allergens in the first months, being this the most vulnerable stage and secondly: the cover that offers the colostrum in your system avoiding the penetration of any substance that may cause allergy, also breast milk is easily absorbed, away from irregularities related to the digestive system, in parallel educating the baby's stomach for the different flavors of solid food..
Another point in favor of breast milk is that it contains the exact nutritional requirement for the baby and the amounts are regulated by it, through its intake, with the possibility of gaining weight in its proper measure, eating what is necessary, extending this benefit to adult life.
Based on my experience, I can attest to the good nutrition that my baby received during the first 6 months of life, where only and exclusively received breast milk, with the condition of free demand, my visits to the doctor were only for healthy child control, his growth always exceeded the normal ranges and without major complication, my baby never proboted formulas, nor teapots with any food, today I am proud to support breastfeeding and have the opportunity to give the best nutrients to my child.
In the pictures I show some shots of my experience with breastfeeding, it was a job that required patience, sleeplessness, discomfort and a lot of time, but the health of my little one is worth it.
There are many more benefits of this wonderful food that I will break down in an upcoming publication.
Do not forget to leave suggestions, experiences, questions or comments, you are welcome.
Remember my recommendation today: breastmilk as the main food of our children.
My English is not very good, so for the translation, www.deepl.com helps me.
Until next time.
Great information, a beautiful opportunity in every woman with the joy of giving health through breastfeeding and spreading it is a beautiful task.
without a doubt it is a gift of love to our children, apart from the communication you enjoy in the process, thank you for your kind comment.
yes I thought exactly the same... even though... I'm a man... and I can't relate to the feelings and stresses of sleepless nights... i think it's such an important topic to raise...
Thanks for a great post! I breastfed all of my six children and wouldn't swap a moment of it! (Well, maybe a few of the painful moments with #4! But we made it anyway.)
There are times when it really makes you run away, but thank God, the motherly instinct always guides you, thank you for your comment.
Is that you in there? So great when you do breastfeeding. I have two daughters and both of them are breastfeeded until they're 2 years old.
Breast-feeding has so many benefits! Thanks for bringing them to your attention. I don't really understand why a mother would choose to NOT breasfeed...the female body produces this milk SPECIFICALLY for the baby...it's how we were created!
I've even heard that the baby's saliva moves through the milk ducts in a mother's breast, which send chemical messages to the mother's body, which then create a specific "cocktail" of milk perfect for that child's individual needs! How cool is that!?
the translation is just fine. it is easy to follow.
Breast feeding is very important. this days bottle-feeding has become popular, but for me breast feeding is still the best, as it promotes that child-mother bond.
In My country - Uganda, Africa-we breast feed sometimes up to 18 months!! lol
La lactancia materna tiene tantos beneficios. El cuerpo femenino produce esta leche ESPECÍFICAMENTE para el bebé. Así es como fuimos creados. Con este proceso de amamantar a nuestros hijos, se hace una verdadera conexión y protegemos a los niños de enfermedades. Muchas gracias por tu post .-
Best feeding is very important for a child to grow with all the nutrition. People in some places are ashamed to breastfeed milk. This situation is not common among everyone but there are people who hesitate to do that on a rare circumstance.
Breastfeeding has the most incredible benefits. I loved the connection with my daughter that I received from it and from knowing she was getting so many benefits from it. I did get a little annoyed with it after a while but I stuck with it for 11 months for her to gain the benefits. It really is a great experience though. This is a beautiful post.
Siempre he pensado que es el mejor primer alimento, aparte de alimentar le proporciona muchas defensas al bebé. Gracias Melvadg, muy interesante.👍
