Won’t breastfeeding make my life complicated?
More breast milk bonuses: it is free and comes in a sterile
container and has a strong convenience factor. Sucking on
the nipple offers comfort to the baby and is the optimum
exercise for creating a strong mouth. As a mom you will
be forced to take a break when you sit and feed, and that
rest will benefit both you and the baby. Since you can just
feed the baby immediately when there is a demand, the night
time feeds are easier. Babies who are breast fed have been
shown to have less nappy rash, less propensity to be overweight
later in life, and have slightly higher IQ’s.
For mom there are bonuses too, since breast feeding encourages
the uterus to contract back to its former size, and, as
you are burning a considerable number of kilojoules to make
this milk, you will get back into shape more quickly. You
may have to take care to avoid foods such as cabbage and
curry, although this does not apply to all babies. You also
have to make sure that you rest and take excellent care
of yourself, since breastfeeding can be hard work. But the
special bond you develop with your baby should more than
compensate for this!
