Why are breast-fed babies healthier? 1. The nutrition of breast milk is irreplaceable by other milk substitutes. Breast milk is the most comprehensive food, especially colostrum, which is rich in antibodies and plays a very important role in improving the baby's immunity. Even after six months, breast milk still contains a certain amount of antibodies, which cannot be replaced by other milk substitutes. The more antibodies a baby eats, the stronger and healthier his body will be.
2. Breastfeeding can help your baby to establish intestinal flora. When breastfeeding, the baby can get aerobic bacteria on the nipple and anaerobic bacteria in the mammary duct by sucking. With these bacteria, the baby can establish intestinal flora, help digest and absorb breast milk, establish a line of defense against diseases, and make the baby's intestines healthier.
3. Breastfeeding your baby can reduce the allergic rate. Breast milk is produced and sold by itself, without any additives and side effects. It's very safe. If the baby eats breast milk, the chance of allergy will be reduced, and the baby who eats breast milk does not have to worry about improper sources and excessive addition of various substances.
4. Breastfeeding can promote the baby's mental health. In the process of breastfeeding, the baby can get a sense of security from his mother, making his body and mind more relaxed and psychologically healthier.
Breast milk is born for babies and is the most suitable food for babies. Of course, milk is the best food in the case of insufficient breast milk. The difference between breast milk and milk: breast milk is easier to digest than milk. There is a whey protein in protein, which can promote the synthesis of sugar. When it comes to stomach acid, it becomes very small and easy to absorb. The whey protein in breast milk accounts for 60% of the total protein, so breast milk is easier to absorb and digest. Protein in milk is mostly casein, which is not easy for babies to digest, so babies who eat breast milk will be hungrier than those who eat milk powder. Breast milk contains a lot of antibodies that are not found in milk. Breast milk contains a lot of immunoglobulin, which can enhance the baby's resistance, make the baby stronger and less sick, but there are no such antibodies in milk, so the baby can get more antibodies by eating more breast milk. Taurine content in breast milk is much higher than that in milk. Taurine is very helpful to the development of baby's nervous system, intelligence and retina. However, this substance exists in breast milk, especially in colostrum, and the content of taurine is at its peak, so there is relatively little milk, which can't reach110 in breast milk, so the baby who eats breast milk will get more taurine, which is more conducive to the development of baby's intelligence and vision. Calcium to phosphorus ratio. The ratio of calcium and phosphorus in breast milk is 2: 1, which is more conducive to the baby's absorption. As long as you give your baby enough vitamin D, you can effectively prevent rickets and supplement calcium, while milk is just the opposite. The ratio of calcium to phosphorus is 1:2, which is definitely not as good as breast milk. Vitamin D deficiency Breast milk has all the nutrients a baby needs, except vitamin D, so breast-fed babies need extra vitamin D. Milk generally contains a certain amount of vitamin D. As long as the baby's milk reaches enough vitamin D content, there is no need to supplement vitamin D. Compared with milk, breast milk is more humanized. Breast milk is self-regulated with the age, season and climate of the fetus. Breast milk can be divided into colostrum (breast milk within five days after birth), transitional milk (breast milk after 6- 10), mature milk (breast milk after 10 days to 10 months) and late milk (10 months). More specifically, if the weather is hot, the water content in breast milk will be higher, so if there are no special circumstances, even on a hot day, breast-fed babies don't need to replenish extra water, and the concentration and content of breast milk need to be artificially changed. Although the nutrition of breast milk is so good, there are always some mothers who accidentally fall into some misunderstandings in the process of breast milk. Common misunderstandings are: 1. Colostrum is dirty. Colostrum is thicker than normal breast milk and slightly yellow, so it looks a little dirty, so some mothers will listen to the old man and squeeze it out and throw it away. It's really a pity. In fact, colostrum has a high nutritional value, known as soft gold, rich in antibodies and a lot of taurine, which is very precious for babies, but the breast milk within five days of the baby's birth is colostrum, and as long as it is breast-fed, the baby can generally eat it.
2. Breast milk after six months has no nutrition. This is a very wrong statement. Six months ago, babies could get all the nutrients they needed from breast milk, including water. After six months, the baby needs more nutrition, and breast milk can't fully meet the baby's needs. However, before the baby is one year old, breast milk can still provide more than half of the baby's nutritional needs. From one year old to two years old, breast milk can still provide 1/3 nutrients for babies. In fact, that is to say,
3. The mother's milk during menstruation is poisonous and can't be given to the baby. In fact, it is normal to have menstruation during lactation, but menstruation during lactation does not mean that mother's milk can't be eaten. Even if the mother menstruates, the nutrition of the milk has not changed, but the milk has become thicker, so the mother can drink more water and breastfeed the baby normally.
4. Eat big fish and meat when breastfeeding. As long as breast milk is insufficient, the first thing that people think of is eating, because only by eating more can they produce more milk, so they should not only eat more, but also eat more meat. It is best to have big fish and big meat every day. If so, Ma Bao will get fat easily. In fact, even during lactation, Ma Bao doesn't need to eat or drink. Big fish and meat. If the breast milk is insufficient, the baby can suck more. As long as the mother consumes enough milk every day, she will produce enough milk. If Ma Bao just eats more, it will not only have little effect on milk production, but also make her weight soar.
A friend of lazy mom always complains that there is no milk during lactation and eats it at home every day, but because the nipple is short, the baby doesn't want to eat, and the milk is getting less and less, but the friend is getting heavier and heavier, and the pursuit of milk is unsuccessful, but he pursues a whole body of meat.
After giving birth to Bauer, the lazy mother insisted on breastfeeding until the baby was two years old. Babies who eat more breast milk are really in good health. Bauer is in good health and seldom gets sick. Even if the lazy mother and Bauer catch a cold at the same time, Bauer will be better than his mother, so the breast-fed baby is really relatively healthy.
Of course, it is best for Ma Bao to insist on breastfeeding after delivery, but not every mother has such conditions. Whatever the reason, if she can't breastfeed, then choosing milk powder is the best.
