Many young mothers may be very worried and reluctant to breastfeed. Why is that? And what are the benefits of breastfeeding? Let’s take a look. What are you afraid of? 1. destroy the body shape Many young women always keep a beautiful body as one of the biggest goals, pregnancy increased weight has been a headache, and avant-garde thinking, they always feel that breastfeeding will seriously affect the figure, resulting in breast sagging, sagging, abdominal fat increase. The fear of losing shape after childbirth is an important reason that directly leads to the refusal of the partners of all sizes to breastfeed. 2. breast pain Many white-collar women have reported that they always feel breast and nipple pain during breastfeeding, which is unbearable. A Taiwanese businesswoman, after giving birth to feel their breasts red, swollen, painful, there are hard knots inside, delicate and fragile she is afraid that breastfeeding babies will be more painful, so how can not give the baby nursing. In fact, this is a manifestation of breastfeeding. After giving birth, the body receives stimulation from all sides, and milk is secreted in large quantities. If you do not feed your baby, the milk will accumulate in the breast ducts, causing hard knots. What is more worrying is that if the mother does not pay attention to hygiene after giving birth, it is easy for infection to occur, leading to mastitis. The actual fact is that you will not be able to get a lot of money from the company. 3. cracked nipples Clinically, there are many mothers who find their nipples cracked during breastfeeding, so they blame the cracked and deformed nipples on breastfeeding, believing that breastfeeding can damage the body and that babies sucking on the nipples can damage them. 4. fear of unemployment Modern women’s work is fast-paced, stressful, high elimination rate, many people believe that breastfeeding consumes too much energy and time, will make the postpartum work greatly reduced, some people are more worried that breastfeeding will delay the work, and even unemployment. The truth is that these so-called “disadvantages” are just an excuse for not wanting to breastfeed. The first time a mother’s role has not yet had time to adapt, they choose to avoid the most normal physiological process. Medically speaking, breastfeeding has many advantages. The benefits of breastfeeding! The newborn’s nipples can be sucked within a few minutes to cause uterine contractions and reduce bleeding. The sucking action of the baby stimulates the secretion of oxytocin, which promotes the return of the uterus to its pre-pregnancy size. The recovery of the uterus is more rapid and complete in breastfeeding mothers than in those who do not breastfeed. If you are unlucky enough to have a cesarean section and are not breastfeeding, your uterus will recover even more slowly. Breastfeeding helps the mother to recover her body shape. The fat accumulated in the mother’s body during pregnancy is the “fuel” that nature has stored for breastfeeding after delivery. Breastfeeding burns a lot of calories in the mother’s body, so she can lose weight without dieting. Breastfeeding does not change the shape of the breasts, those changes are caused by pregnancy. What’s more, even if you don’t breastfeed, your breasts are still going to sag when you reach a certain age. 3. Breastfeeding protects mothers from a number of diseases Various studies have shown that breast cancer is much less likely to develop in women who have never breastfed, even if they only breastfeed for a few months. Compared to women who have never breastfed, mothers who breastfeed for more than 25 months are one-third less likely to develop breast cancer. Also, breastfed baby girls are less likely to develop breast cancer in the future than those who have not been breastfed. Breastfeeding can also prevent ovarian cancer, urinary tract infections and osteoporosis. 4. 4. breastfeeding is a natural family planning A large number of studies over the years have shown that exclusive breastfeeding in some way, at least for the first six months of life, is a natural and effective means of contraception. A survey of American mothers who breastfed for at least a year found that while some mothers began to menstruate around 6 months, others did not have periods again until two and a half years later. The average period of no menstruation was 14.6 months. There is a direct correlation between reduced menstrual periods and reduced chances of developing terminal diseases such as breast and ovarian cancer. 5. Breastfeeding is both satisfying for the baby and convenient for the mother Mothers who have breastfed know that there is nothing more convenient than breast milk. As soon as the baby cries, the mother can pick it up and lift up her clothes to feed it without having to fuss with boiling water, brewing formula, warming milk or waiting for it to cool down. Breastfeeding saves you the trouble of preparing formula, and also eliminates the guilt and anxiety of the mother caused by the child’s cries. Especially at night, breastfeeding can help the whole family sleep more peacefully. It is especially convenient to travel without worrying about the supply of boiled water, sterilization of bottles, cleaning of breastfeeding utensils, etc. Breastfeeding makes the mother relaxed and happy Breast milk contains a natural sleep-promoting protein that allows the baby to sleep peacefully; and the baby’s sucking action also causes the mother’s body to secrete hormones that help her relax. Many busy mothers report that after a busy day, breastfeeding can relax them and the feeling of tiredness and fatigue will disappear naturally.
