Expert Opinion On Breastfeeding: How It Will Help Baby And Mother
Breastfeeding is a powerful and natural way to nurture a new-born, offering an array of benefits for both the baby and the mother. As a paediatrician and a lactation consultant, we advocate for breastfeeding due to its numerous advantages.
Benefits of breastfeeding for babies
For the baby, breast milk is the ideal source of nutrition, containing essential nutrients, antibodies, and growth factors that foster optimal growth and development. Breastfeeding is known to reduce the risk of infections, allergies, and chronic diseases, promoting a stronger immune system.
Additionally, the physical closeness during nursing enhances bonding between mother and child, fostering emotional security and cognitive development. The breastfed baby scores 8-10 points higher in intelligence quotient.
Benefits of breastfeeding for mothers
Mothers also experience significant benefits from breastfeeding. It aids in postpartum recovery by promoting uterine contractions, reducing bleeding, and helping in weight loss. It reduces the risk of postpartum depression, reduces the risk of iron deficiency anaemia in mothers. These mothers have stronger bones later in life.
Furthermore, breastfeeding has been linked to a reduced risk of certain breast and ovarian cancers and improved mental health for mothers.
As healthcare professionals, we encourage all mothers to consider breastfeeding as the first choice for infant feeding. However, we understand that individual circumstances vary, and we are committed to providing comprehensive support and guidance to help mothers make informed decisions that align with their unique needs and preferences.
In Conclusion
Breastfeeding offers unparalleled benefits to both infants and mothers. Our goal, as paediatricians and lactation consultants, is to encourage breastfeeding and provide our expertise to support families in their journey towards improved health and well-being for both mothers and their precious children, ultimately securing a brighter future for the little ones.
