What
breastfeeding information is needed prenatally?
Today more and more women are choosing to breastfeed their
babies because human milk is the perfect food for human
infants. It is easy to digest and gives the baby protection
from allergies and many infectious diseases. Breastfeeding
can satisfy the sucking needs of the baby and help him to
develop a sense of trust and security.
Among its many advantages, breastfeeding allows the mother
to spend quality time getting to know the personality and
individual needs of her baby. Also, her health benefits
because her uterus returns to its normal size more quickly
and the increased calorie requirements needed during
breastfeeding help her to lose the extra weight gained
during pregnancy. The whole family will find that
breastfeeding saves time, money and energy, making it easier
for the mother to be active and care for the needs of other
family members.
