Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 27-year-old female. I am going to become a new mother soon. I am eight months pregnant. Could you please provide an overview of breastfeeding, including its importance for the infant's health and development? What are the numerous benefits of breastfeeding, both for the baby and the mother? How does breastfeeding support the infant's immune system and overall growth? What is the composition of breast milk, and how does it change over time to meet the evolving nutritional needs of the infant? What are the recommended techniques for successful breastfeeding? What are some common challenges and difficulties that new mothers may encounter when breastfeeding, and how can they be addressed? How can I ensure that I am maintaining a nutritious diet to support healthy breast milk production and provide optimal nutrition to my infant?

Answered by Dr. Monica Mathur

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.

Thank you.
