How long to breastfeed an infant after delivery

Breastfeeding can be started within an hour after the baby is born, usually in the delivery room, or after returning to the ward for a cesarean section. Breastfeeding as early as possible is good for promoting the secretion of breast milk and also for giving more nutrition to the baby. Breastfeeding is very beneficial to both the pregnant woman and the baby. Breast milk is the best food for the baby, providing the nutrients needed to meet its development, and it has the effect of improving immunity. Breastfeeding increases the bond between mother and child and is beneficial to the development of the baby’s mouth, teeth and face. In addition, breastfeeding can also promote the contraction of the uterus and the discharge of malaria, which can reduce the probability of breast cancer and ovarian cancer in mothers.
