Breastfeeding Tips 1722793368

Mother says that mother's milk is like nectar, mother's milk is very important for the development of the child and increasing the immunity of the child. When a mother breastfeeds her child, a strong bond is also formed between mother and child. Pediatricians recommend not to give anything other than mother's milk to the child until he is 6 months old.

There is no other nutritious food like mother's breast milk, some people breastfeed for one year while some people breastfeed for two to three years. Breastfeeding the baby for one or two years even after 6 months is good for the child's health, the child will not fall ill frequently, working women will face challenges in breastfeeding the child.

Maternity leave is for 6 months, but some women go on leave for 7 or 8 months due to their health condition during pregnancy, then return to work 3-4 months after the birth of the child. The mother thinks that her child should not be deprived of mother's milk, at the same time she has to move forward in her career.

Some people take leave from their home next to the office and breastfeed their child, but not everyone can do this, such people can pump breast milk for the child. But many questions arise in the minds of mothers regarding this.
