Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I read your query and understand your concern.

Breastfeeding is an important part of lactating and it also helps the reduction of the uterus to its non-pregnant size as far as the importance of breastfeeding is concerned breast milk is high in cholesterol especially the first three days which is a high level of globalism which helps the baby to fight against various diseases so it is always good to feed the baby for at least three to four months so that immunity of the babies increased apart from it the bonding between the child is also increased breastfeeding does not cause any harm instead if you are best feeding exclusively to the baby then the chances of pregnancy test feeding is not there.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
