We celebrate, World Breastfeeding week every year from 1st to 7th August to create awareness & importance of Breastfeeding to babies. WHO recommends breast feeding can be given for 2 years & longer.
This write-up briefs about advantages of breastfeeding in mother and child.

Advantages of Breastfeeding to child:

• Breast milk contains essential nutrition & immunity for baby's growth.

• Breast milk provides adequate nutrition to babies – Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months (Exclusive -only breast milk no other feed for 1St 6months after birth) and longer must be given.

• Breast milk contain s Energy (65Kcal),Protein(1.1g),Fat(3.4g), Carbohydrate(7.4g),minerals.

• Small quantities of thick, yellowish fluid called colostrum is produced by mother for first few days after delivery, colostrum is rich in antibodies & vitamin-A.

• Breast milk contains antibodies, that give protection for babies against bacteria, virus.

• Breastfed babies are protective against ear infections, Respiratory infections (Pneumonia), asthma, diarrhea, Diabetes, childhood leukemia.

• Breastfed babies have adequate weight gain, breast milk helps to gain weight in babies.

• Breast milk promotes brain development in babies (contains DHA) & breastfed children will be more intelligent and smarter.

Breastfeeding advantages to Mother:

• Breastfeeding will help the mother to lose weight- breastfeeding burns more calories & so mother may lose the weight, which was gained during pregnancy.

• Breastfed mother may have low risk of depression after child birth- Postpartum depression or blues occurs in some mothers after the child birth, that can be prevented by breastfeeding.

• Breast feeding mother's have low risk for
1. Cancer (Breast & Ovarian Cancers),
2. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus,
3. Heart Disease,
4. High Blood Pressure.

• Breast feeding helps in uterus contraction- oxytocin (love hormone) is one of the hormone that gets released during breastfeeding, this oxytocin helps in uterus contraction &helps the uterus to regain its normal size and reduces abnormal bleeding.

• Breast feeding can prevent menstruation by stopping the hormones needed for ovulation.

Common myth in Breast feeding:

'Breast feeding makes the breast saggy'
Actual fact is, 'Breast feeding doesn't make the breast saggy, Research shows that hormonal & weight fluctuations during pregnancy are the main cause of breast changes’.

Breast feeding doesn't make any change in the body

'Make mother and child healthy by emphasizing on Breastfeeding'
