- Breastfeeding not dependent on any particular position but you and your baby’s comfort- Breast feeding can be done at any position of your convenience
- Breastmilk is customised to the baby’s needs– Breast milk produced by mothers are specifically designed for their baby’s needs and varies from feed to feed
- Breastmilk carries different food flavours in every feed – Babies can taste the flavours of all food items consumed by the mother through breast milk. Hence breastfed babies will accept variety of solid foods during the weaning period better than those on alternative feeds
- Store Heat Feed Repeat- Breast milk can be stored even up to 6 months hence working mothers can store their milk and continue to offer breast milk itself to babies despite the working schedule
- Breast milk works as miracle medicine– Best medicine for any infection in the babies is breast milk itself as the disease specific antibodies are secreted in the milk in response to the baby’s infection
- Amount of milk produced not directly proportional to breast size– Breast size and shape has nothing to do with the amount of milk that can be produced
- Breast feed your way to that slim waist- Breast feeding is the best weight reduction method to get into pre pregnancy shape.
- Have Twins? Still can Breastfeed exclusively– Twins or Triplet babies can also be exclusively breastfed
- Breastmilk increases intellect– Breastfed babies are known to have higher intelligence and lesser allergies later in life
- “Colostrum” the Elixir for life -First feed called colostrum is very important and gives a high concentration of calories and proteins and antibodies to the baby hence should not be missed and other prelacteal feeds like sugar water etc should be avoided
