World breastfeeding week 2025 was rounded up yesterday with the community sensitization at Apo PHC Abuja organized by the NSN in collaboration with CAIN nutrition.
The lactating moms were informed and educated on the need to initiate breastfeeding
1 hr after birth and continue to exclusively breastfeed for 6 months,
Then introduced complementary foods to support the breast milk.
During the questions and answers, some mothers complained that they have tried EBF , but their babies don't get satisfied always crying for more,
Which drain them emotionally and physically.
Apparently, there are 2 types of milk that comes out during breastfeeding
Foremilk and Hind milk.
Listen, as a breastfeeding woman, don't be in a hurry to breastfeed your baby at least 10-15minutes to be able to empty the first breast before moving to the another.
The first milk that comes out is called the foremilk which is the water.this only quinshes the baby tastes while the second milk is the Hind milk which contains all the nutrients for nourishment and weight gain.
So mothers if your baby continues carrying after breastfeeding
Check your positioning, if the baby mouth 👄 👄 is latching well or curling round the ariola of your breasts ( that black area of the breasts)
Check the duration of breastfeeding, make sure the baby gets the Hind milk enough,this one will prevent the baby from getting hungry fast.
Learn how to express your milk and store in a warm container, if you're not readily available.
