Benefits of breastfeeding for mothers Breastfeeding is conducive to the development of a good parent-child relationship. The mother enjoys the satisfaction of motherhood, and the child feels the mother’s concern and a sense of security, which is conducive to emotional communication between mother and child. Some studies have pointed out that breastfeeding can reduce the risk of ovarian and breast cancer and protect the health of mothers. Breastfeeding can effectively consume the fat accumulated during pregnancy, which can promote the recovery of body shape and avoid postpartum obesity. Wearing the right underwear during breastfeeding can make the breasts fuller and avoid sagging breasts Breastfeeding mothers have a sense of fulfillment and more self-confidence. Benefits of breastfeeding for babies Breastmilk contains all the nutrients that babies need and helps them develop. It is very easy to digest and absorb and can be effectively utilized by the baby’s organism. For babies, breastmilk not only has the right amount of nutrients, but also the right amount of proteins and minerals that babies can’t tolerate because their gastrointestinal digestive and renal excretory functions are not yet fully developed. Although the protein and mineral content of breastmilk is not as high as cow’s milk, it can be harmonized into a ratio that is conducive to absorption, so that the infant’s nutrients can be absorbed without increasing the burden of digestion and excretion. Breastmilk also has a good ratio of fatty acids, which is not only easy to absorb, but also contains enough essential fatty acids for the normal development of infants. Breastmilk also contains enough amino acids and lactose, which are beneficial to the infant’s brain development. Breastmilk not only improves the immune system of infants, but also protects infants from infections, prevents diarrhea and respiratory infections, and reduces allergies in infants. The most important for the immune function of infants is colostrum (containing antibodies and defecation factors), which is secreted within 7 days after delivery, and mothers should breastfeed their infants as much as possible. Breastfeeding is very important for the development of the baby’s personality and the parent-child relationship. During breastfeeding, there is skin-to-skin and eye-to-eye contact between the baby and the mother, which satisfies the baby’s need for warmth, security and love.
