What's the difference between the old and new concepts of breastfeeding?

With the continuous updating of the times, many young parents' ideas about breastfeeding have also changed greatly. In many young people's ideas, the time and way of breastfeeding are very different from those of the past. Because of the progress of the times, people's ideas will also be affected. Many women will learn some common sense when they are pregnant and nursing their children, so as to avoid misunderstanding and bring bad influence to their babies.

First, the misunderstanding of the traditional concept In the traditional concept, children's breast milk must be weaned after 6 months, because breast milk has no nutrition. This statement is incorrect. Under normal circumstances, newborns rely entirely on breastfeeding from birth to 6 months in order to grow up healthily. Before 6 months, you don't need to add any complementary food to your baby, including the nutrition your baby needs for growth after 6 months of water. Breast milk is not enough, you can add some diet appropriately. For premature or allergic babies, complementary food cannot be used for physical reasons.

Second, the concept of feeding must be breastfed for 8 to 9 months or even stronger, so as to ensure the baby's nutrition and healthy growth, so many babies rely on breastfeeding before the age of one. In the traditional concept, it is believed that the milk will go bad after the menstrual period, and it is best not to feed the baby. In fact, this statement is unfounded. Even after menstruation, the quality of breast milk will not change, and you can continue to feed your baby.

Third, the nutrition of breast milk Many people think that when a mother feeds her baby, the color of the milk is gray and light, indicating that the milk is very thin, so that the baby will easily starve to death. In fact, this statement is also incorrect, because most of the ingredients in milk are water, which can quench the baby's thirst, so the baby does not need to drink extra water in the first 6 months. At first, the milk will be very weak, but after the baby eats it, the breast milk will become thicker and thicker, and the baby will not be full. In summer, breast milk will automatically dilute and provide more water for the baby, so even in hot summer, there is no need to add extra water to the baby.
