Many families question why it is necessary to breastfeed for so long.  Because continued breastfeeding brings many benefits to the health and psychology of mother and baby.  But in modern society, with the emergence of formula milk, many people believe that breastmilk after 6 months has nothing to do with it.  This is a very misconception.  Or do they think that after 6 months, babies have to start weaning, meaning breastmilk loses quality?  Anyone, including a pediatrician, says that means they are completely ignorant of breastmilk and baby development.  Breast milk after 6 months is still full of protein, fat, and other important nutrients to suit your baby’s needs.  Breast milk still contains antibodies to protect the health of babies of any age.

  

 Sometimes we only focus on nutrition, weigh and measure each gram of food to provide the baby with the most complete and perfect source of nutrition, but forget a factor in breast milk without any kind of food.  What product or drug may provide: Live antibody.  In fact, some of the antibodies in breastmilk are found in the second year of life even more than in the first year of life.  That is natural, because the older babies are, the more likely they are to be exposed to bacteria and diseases than babies under 1 year old.  Breast milk has special growth substances to help improve the immune system in children, and in parallel with the development of the brain, digestive system, internal organs.  It has been shown that babies who attend kindergarten who are still breastfed do not get seriously ill and are not as sick as babies who are not breastfed.  That means mothers don’t have to take much off work to take care of their sick babies if they continue to breastfeed for a long time.

 

  Babies weaned before the age of 2 are more likely to develop the disease.  Children aged 1-3 years old who are still breastfed are less likely to get sick, when sick, the time to heal faster, Breast milk plays an important role when babies are sick, but most people still overlook the role.  and think that it is possible to increase resistance to the baby with bovine colostrum, or expensive supplements.  Let’s take a very simple example, a 20-month-old baby is sick and refuses to eat anything, he just wants to breastfeed day and night.  Thus, the baby still receives a significant amount of nutrition, easy to absorb with the tired body of the baby, is provided with antibodies to quickly cure the disease and especially to do what babies like that are hugging mothers and nipples.  mom.

 

 Scientists point out that the human weaning age ranges from 2 to 7 years.  Pediatricians need to be informed about the benefits of prolonged breastfeeding, including health benefits, resistance, psychological benefits and breast milk as a source of nutrition.  safety in the event of natural disasters and emergencies, where the food or water supply is not hygienic.  Prolonged breastfeeding also receives many benefits for themselves, such as a reduced risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, reduced risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity or heart disease.

 

 Look at the society around us, and you will see a lot of people who say bad words about Breastmilk.  They used unfriendly reasons, legends to lash out breast milk, causing the Milkmothers to worry.  Please contribute to quenching those old beliefs, breastmilk does not lose substance, breastmilk is not hot, not cool, not thick, not dilute.  The mother’s body saves the best for her baby through two breasts.  Whether it is a poor mother in Africa, or a rich mother in the middle of New York, the quality of breast milk is still the best, most suitable for the baby, what is not Breastmilk is the standard deviation.  to human needs.

 

 Now let’s talk about a “legend” that many mothers wonder, how about breastfeeding for too long?  I want my baby to be an independent child, and prolonged breastfeeding is one of the keys to helping the baby become more independent.  Do you believe it?  That is the truth.  A baby who is breastfed for a long time until the baby wean itself (usually 2 to 4 years) is often perceived as more independent, and more importantly, more confident in herself.  In the first years of life, the baby receives warmth, does not worry, finds protection from her breasts, until she struggles to think and is ready to wean herself.  And when they reach that step, they know that they have achieved something great, they can hold their heads high, confident that they can go further.  It is an important mark that your baby will be proud of.  Sometimes we adults force babies to become independent too soon.  Have to sleep separately from too early, have to wean from too early, have to do everything that parents don’t help from too early.  Do not force your baby, let him experience it and he will gradually be independent.  What are you in a hurry?  Cherish the moments of embracing and breastfeeding your baby, because those moments will last only the first few years of your life, and for the rest of your life you will miss the feeling of being close to your baby.  so.

 

 Let go of social stereotypes, look at human history, and be confident that prolonged breastfeeding has a lot of benefits for both mother and baby that you will cherish later.  Don’t be in a hurry to wean your baby.

 

 (Cherish the moments of embracing and breastfeeding your baby, because they only last for the first few years of your life, and for the rest of your life you will miss the feeling of being close to your baby.  so.
