And we understand that, becoming a mother involves a lot of pain, compromises and sacrifices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, with your mewling little one in your arms, you feel like you\u2019ve been rewarded after winning the huge pregnancy challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well! Now that you are a new mom to your new-born, all that you can ever think of is about your baby\u2019s health and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, according to the experts\u2019 advice and your doctor\u2019s recommendation, breastmilk, is the most natural source of nutrient for your baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, breastfeeding, which is the most natural <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/tips-breastfeeding-little-one\/\">method of feeding your baby<\/a>, has seemingly endless benefits both for you and your baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue reading this engaging article, as we harp on the advantages of breastfeeding, for you and your baby, this breastfeeding week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-is-your-baby-benefitted-from-breastfeeding\">How is Your Baby Benefitted From Breastfeeding?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthcare professionals from the American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommend, exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months to 1 year or even longer than that. After all, breast milk is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"a-good-source-of-nutrition\">A Good Source of Nutrition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Secretion of a thick and yellowish fluid known as colostrum from your breast milk, after your baby\u2019s birth turns out to be the ideal first milk for your baby. It fulfils the protein-requirement for the infant and helps in developing the new-born\u2019s immature digestive tract. But, as the baby grows up, and you start producing more milk, it fills up the baby\u2019s carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"boosts-the-babys-immunity\">Boosts the Baby\u2019s Immunity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The nutrient-dense colostrum, is also packed with immunoglobulin A (lgA) and several other antibodies, which helps the baby in combating against certain viruses and bacteria, harming his or her immunity. Going deeper, however, the immunoglobulin A (lgA) forms a protective layer in the baby\u2019s nose, throat and digestive system, thus strengthening the immunity and preventing the baby from falling sick. In fact, many breastfed babies have very little ear infections and respiratory problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"helps-the-baby-in-gaining-healthy-weight\">Helps the Baby in Gaining Healthy Weight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies have supported that; breastmilk is teeming with bacteria helps in colonising your infant\u2019s gut and nourishes the baby\u2019s microbiome. Nevertheless, breastfeeding the baby continuously for 4 months, and even after that, significantly reduces your baby\u2019s chance of being overweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"makes-the-baby-smart\">Makes the Baby Smart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Research has it that, due to physical touch, and eye contact while breastfeeding, your baby might seem to have long-term brain development, with no behavioural and learning problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, it\u2019s not just your baby, who\u2019s enjoying the benefits of breastfeeding, you are equally benefitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-are-you-benefitted-from-breastfeeding\">How Are You Benefitted From Breastfeeding?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Through Breastfeeding, you can establish an emotional connection with your baby, immediately. Basically, nursing your baby releases oxytocin and prolactin hormones, thus sharing a sense of love and care with your baby. These oxytocin hormones, at same time, encourages uterine contraction and reduces uterine bleeding, after you\u2019ve delivered your baby, thus returning it to its pre-pregnancy size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, breastfeeding lowers the risk of deadly diseases like breast and ovarian cancer and helps in burning those extra kilos, earned during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no denying that being a new mother, breastfeeding your new-born is one of the most cherished moments of your life. With the physical and emotional benefits, breastfeeding becomes one of the best choices, unless you cannot do it due to certain health or medical condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents How is Your Baby Benefitted From Breastfeeding?
