Breastfeeding the baby or opting for artificial lactation is the great doubt of some pregnant women. However, in the opinion of the experts there should be no doubts, since breastfeeding is the best for babies. Numerous studies have shown that the best food for the newborn is the mother's milk, especially during the first six months on demand and exclusively, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).
In addition, breastfeeding is not only advisable due to the quality of breast milk, which is liquid gold for the baby, as it is a sterile food that is permanently available, which nourishes in a more balanced way and provides immunoglobins (defenses) that improve immunity of the baby and defend him from infections, and leukocytes that protect him from infectious diseases of the intestine. In addition, it prevents allergies and food intolerances and not only contains all the nutrients and antibodies that the baby needs to grow strong and healthy, but breastfeeding opens a period of great communication and affection with the baby, known as bonding, which definitely constitutes one of the invaluable characteristics in the emotional sense.
However, because the period of maternity leave is shorter than the six months recommended by the WHO, breastfeeding is often compromised by the mother's work obligations and that is when we have to go to bottles with formula milk , which effectively and safely supply the absence of breast milk. However, despite the benefits of breastfeeding, this is not to say that bottle-feeding is not good for mother and baby when there are problems that make it impossible to breastfeed. Today there are formula milks that can provide the baby with everything he needs to develop.
Maybe sometimes you have to combine them a bit ... so it is highly recommended that you clear up doubts at the time and you should not feel anguished or stressed while you are breastfeeding, for example, because you cannot continue breastfeeding or not having been able to breastfeed your baby. The mother's mood is the most important whether you are breastfeeding your baby or bottle feeding. It is essential that you are calm and very relaxed when feeding your baby. Remember that it is a part of you ... and you have a great commitment to it.
