Its Breastfeeding week from 1-7 August 2024 After the birth of a baby, breastfeeding is an amazing feeling to both mother and baby especially when it is successfully achieved. For Breastfeeding to be successful, certain roles and factors must come to play ,such roles are good positioning and attachment. Factors such as the condition of the baby at birth, the size of the nipples, condition of mother and general well-being also counts. Breastfeeding is very important to both mother and baby especially for the first 6months of the baby's life ( EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING). Exclusive breastfeeding means that the infant receives only breast milk. No other liquids or solids are given – not even water – with the exception of oral rehydration solution, or drops/syrups of vitamins, minerals or medicines. Nutrients found in breast milk and their importance to the baby; 1. Fats and Fatty acid : this nutrients found in breast milk helps in brain growth and myelination, it also helps in digestion and therefore prevents constipation. 2. Carbohydrates which is provided by lactose; helps in providing energy which helps in the rapid growth of the brain and also has enzymes which reduces the growth of pathogenic organisms. (Where Pathogenic means disease causing organisms) 3. Protein; less protein is found in breast milk thou and it helps to reduce allergic problems because breast milk is naturally made unlike artificial feeds. 4. Vitamins; assist in blood clotting factors ( vitamin K), vitamin D prevent rickets and other bone associated problems, etc 5. Minerals and trace elements which also help in the growth of your baby. Breast milk contains all the nutrients an infant needs in the first six months of life. (WHO)
