Breastfeeding for a month is meaningful for children

What are the benefits of breast milk for your child?

In the past, only families with better conditions could give their children milky breastfeeding, and with the development of the times, more and more parents feel that the safety and nutrient content of milk powder are not as much as in breast milk, but in fact, everyone may not know the real benefits of breastfeeding. So, what are the benefits of breast milk for children?

1.Breast milk contains very little bacteria. As we all know in children's bodies, the immune system is very weak, and a little bacteria will adversely affect the child, and the content of bacteria in breast milk is much lower than that in milk powder.

2.The nutrients in breast milk can effectively promote a child's brain development. The fats and fatty acids in breast milk are important nutrients for infant brain development, so it is not unreasonable to say that breastfed children are smarter.

4.Breastfeeding leads to a healthier weight for your baby. In fact, the height and weight of each baby in each period have certain normal indicators, beyond this index may mean that the child is overnourished or malnourished, which has a great impact on the healthy development of the child, and breastfeeding can better control the baby's weight within the normal range, so as to ensure the healthy growth of the baby.

Breastfeeding for too long will lead to a lot of harm, because after more than 10 months of breast milk, the protein content will slowly decrease, the nutritional content of breast milk is not very high, and the nutritional value is reduced. Breastfeeding for too long can cause your child to develop the habit of not eating anything else, leading to a lack of nutrients in your child's body.

Breastfeeding is generally considered to be best between 6 months and 2 years of age. How long to breastfeed should also be determined according to the physical condition of the nursing mother.

It is generally believed that the optimal age of weaning is 8 to 12 months of age in urban areas and to 12 to 18 months in rural areas. However, if the breastfeeding mother is in poor condition and the usual milk production is insufficient, it can be appropriately weaned in advance.

If the nursing mother is in good health, lactation is still in a vigorous state, or because the baby is weak and sick, weaning is detrimental to the baby's health, and the weaning time can also be appropriately postponed, but it is not more than 2 years old at the latest.

In addition, the specific time of weaning should be in spring or autumn.

The World Health Organization strongly recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months. From 6 months to 2 years of age or longer, breastfeeding should be supplemented with other foods.

The World Health Organization confirms: "Breast milk is the best nutritious food for infants." "Breast milk contains a variety of immune components, more unsaturated fatty acids than cow's milk, taurine that promotes brain development in infants, etc.

Therefore, the breastfeeding period can be appropriately extended, rather than the conventional concept that "breast milk is not nutritious after six months".

Breastfeeding not only has many benefits for the baby, but also promotes the recovery of the uterus and the return of the mother's body to the mother's body. All are helpful.
