On Breastfeeding:
When
should I first feed my baby?
You
should give the child your breast the moment
the baby is given to you, and you should insist
on feeding the baby within its first half
hour."Colostrum", the first feed, is a thick
yellowish secretion.It is nature's startup
pack for the baby.Very rich in proteins, minerals
and vitamins, it also has, most importantly,
the disease resistance antibodies.One should
never let this elixir of life go waste.Even
after a Caesarian section, breast-feed the
baby as soon as the anaesthesia wears off.If
the husband holds the baby to your breast,
as you lie down, it has the additional bonus
of father-child bonding. |
