       Breast milk is the best nutritional and immunological agent for early human life, and breastfeeding for newborns is recognized as the best way of feeding, which is extremely beneficial to both mothers and infants. Breast milk contains the most suitable nutrients for infants’ digestion and absorption, improves infants’ immunity, and significantly reduces the rate of infants’ diarrhea, respiratory and skin infections; breastfeeding helps women’s uterus contract after delivery, effectively prevents postpartum bleeding; promotes postpartum body recovery; reduces the risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer; and breastfeeding is also the most economical for families.  In addition, as the best food to supply infants with nutrition, breast milk has the most suitable nutrients for infants to absorb and utilize, which is conducive to their growth and development, and breast milk can adjust its composition as the infant grows. The immune antibodies (Slgh) in breast milk have the effect of inhibiting and changing the growth characteristics of bacteria, and also activate macrophages to enhance phagocytosis to remove antigenic substances.  The nutrients in breastmilk, especially essential amino acids, essential unsaturated fatty acids, inorganic salts, cholesterol, and sulfonic acid, are essential for brain development.  Breast milk can transmit lactoferrin anti-infection factor to newborns and inhibit the growth of microorganisms; breast milk also contains complement components, anti-staphylococcal factors and bifid factors, which can promote the growth of bifid lactobacilli in the intestinal tract, and these characteristics of breast milk are irreplaceable by any other milk.  Tui Na can increase lactation, breast fullness, secretion of lactogen, reduce the number of artificial feedings for newborns and the amount of artificial feedings for newborns, the weight of newborns, and the number of stools and urine of newborns are significant.  Studies have shown that the application of Tui Na is effective in promoting postpartum lactation in women. By improving the degree of breast fullness and lactation, Tui Na promotes the secretion of lactogen and increases the amount of breastfeeding, and the increase in the weight of the newborn and the number of bowel movements, along with the decrease in the number of manual feedings and the amount of manual feedings also indirectly reflects the increase in breastfeeding.
