Breastfeeding - A Ladder For Good Health
by: Sharon Hopkins Mother's milk is one of the best foods for babies that anyone could think
about. It contains ample amount of proteins and nutrients which could beat any
other health drink for your child. The usefulness of this milk becomes more
important because it protects the baby from some of the worst health problems. There is no substitute for breast milk so providing this milk to your
child would be the best thing to give to your child. It has been studied that
children who have been breastfed grow faster and are healthier than the ones who
have not been breastfed. Breast milk contains lactoferrin which helps in absorption of iron and
protects the intestine from any harmful bacteria. The other component called
lipases helps in digesting your fats which helps in baby's growth and
development. It not only serves the purpose of providing nutrients to your child
but also in serving the purpose to quench to your baby’s thirst and fill-in
your baby's stomach. The IQ of the child also increases by providing breast milk. It saves lot
of time and money as you don’t have to sit up late night and mix the formula
for your baby. The cost baby food is also cut which gives more time for the
mother to be with her baby. It creates a bond between the mother and child which binds them together.
Nursing helps the mother to loose the extra pounds which she gained during her
pregnancy. It burns out lot of calories which helps in bringing back the
original size. If there are any chances of bleeding after child birth it lessens
due to breast feeding. The risk of breast and ovarian cancer is minimal. Some common remedies to help breastfeeding -To arouse lactation for better quality and quantity, consumption of
alfalfa is very useful -To remove the hard feeling from your breast place a wet towel on your
breast for 10 minutes which has been soaked in hot water -Use of chamomile helps in controlling inflamed breast -To minimize pain and inflammation, use of castor oil is very useful -Having the baby in different positions for feeding also helps -Consumption of fennel tea and almonds helps in increasing the milk

other infection at bay
