10 things you might not have heard about breastfeeding<\/p>\n
1)\u00a0Breastmilk has the highest amount in fat in the afternoon. In the morning the amount is higher but its more \u201cwatery\u201d.<\/p>\n
2)\u00a0We always believed foremilk has less fat than hindmilk. However, new studies have shown that sometimes foremilk and hindmilk have equal amounts of fat.<\/p>\n
3)\u00a0Not only will the milk create exactly what the baby needs but baby\u2019s cells (i.e.\u00a0cells with germs)\u00a0will go in mom\u2019s breast during breastfeeding and the breast will answer with changing the breastmilk according to those cells (cool, huh?)<\/p>\n
4)\u00a0It doesn\u2019t matter what a mother who is breastfeeding eats or doesn\u2019t eat. Women have breastfed under conditions we can\u2019t even imagine and their baby\u2019s were perfectly nurtured.<\/p>\n
5)\u00a0If milk supply is not enough it doesn\u2019t help do nurse longer- you should nurse more often <\/b>instead.<\/p>\n
6)\u00a0A newborn baby will crawl up to the left breast within the first hour after birth if we let him\/her. Why the left breast? Because that\u2019s where the baby hears mom\u2019s heartbeat.<\/p>\n
7)\u00a0The REM-sleep is the best moment to latch your baby on; that\u2019s when it starts waking up. Once he\/she starts crying it\u2019s more difficult to latch them on.<\/p>\n
8)\u00a0We call the hold when you have your baby sitting in front of you to nurse the Koala-hold.<\/p>\n
9)\u00a0If you are pumping or substituting milk consider cup feeding- it\u2019s\u00a0much easier\u00a0than bottle feeding, baby doesn\u2019t get confused and you don\u2019t have to sterilize bottles.<\/p>\n
10)\u00a0Caffeine consumption during pregnancy and by nursing mothers has no consequences for infant sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
