Mondays: health/natural

Hello friends! Am happy to be in this community and it is an amazing experience to joining us on this daily challenge on this day Monday.

On the topic Health and natural. I will be focusing on Kids and parents benefits on breast feeding.
Breast feeding is a natural way of feed a new born or a young baby to with his or her mothers breast milk sometimes it can be done by another if the mother is of the baby is dead. Breast milk i vital for the baby for the supply of nutrient need by the baby at that young growing age.

Here I want to share with us the importance of early initiation of breastfeeding

I want us all to know that breastfeeding begins immediately after delivery within the first 30 minutes. So early breastfeeding does a lot good to both mother and child, which includes:

• Early breastfeeding helps the baby to learn on how to breastfeed while the breast is still very soft, a creating a skin to skin bonding to both mother and child

• Early breastfeeding saves the expenses and stress of buying and prepartion of baby formula(milk)

• Early breastfeeding helps to eject the placenta.

• Also early breastfeeding helps in reducing the mother's bleeding as the uterus contracts.

More so, during early breasting feeding the is a foundation of connection between mother and child from the tenderness of the new born baby and the mother as the baby is hold skin to skin just after birth, actually this practice will keep the baby's breathing, also keep the baby warm,it will help the baby reach the breast easily and use to it.

Also, In breastfeeding, there is what is known as Colostrum
Colostrum is the thick yellowish milk that the mother produce, it is the first outlet part of breast that comes out. so be such to feed the baby with it,
Because Colostrum,helps to protect the baby from sickness and helps to remove the first dark stool after birth.

• Frequent breastfeeding helps the mother's breast milk 'come in' and it ensures plenty of breast milk supply.
• it improves the mothers helping to prevent depression.
• it helps the mother to burn fat and maintain a healthy weight.

So finally, with all these baby did not need an additional liquid or water intake for the first 6 months of life.
Mother's should please take note that you didn't give water or other liquids for the first 6 months because it is not necessary and are dangerous for the baby.

Practice early breast feeding because it is a healthy and natural way of feeding a new born and growing young babies.
