Mom's milk is the best!

Breast milk is the best food for babies as it contains all the nutrients they need, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and iron.
For example, in the case of iron, although the amount is small, the absorption rate is much higher, and breast milk is superior in quality regardless of the amount.
Additionally, breast milk contains adequate amounts of substances such as DHA and arachidonic acid, which are essential for the baby's brain development.
During the rapid brain growth period of childhood, not only does the brain increase in size, but brain cells mature and form connections between cells, and breast milk's unique components play a role in this.
In other words, babies who are raised on breast milk grow up with strong bodies and strong minds.
And eating in the comfortable sanctuary of mother's arms helps children grow mentally strong.

Breastfeeding your baby is good for you too.
Breastfeeding plays a beneficial role in soothing the tired body after giving birth and helping the body transform into a mother who breastfeeds.
When a baby sucks, a hormone called oxytocin is secreted, which helps the milk flow and helps the uterus contract, reducing postpartum bleeding.
In short, breastfeeding helps with postpartum recovery.
Because the mother gives the baby plenty of love, it is easy to raise the baby, and it also helps in managing the body by losing a lot of fat accumulated in the body.

Books to Read Before Having a Baby

For expectant parents, the question of how to raise a baby can feel vague.
Why not start with breastfeeding as your specific starting point and begin preparing for childbirth and postpartum care while you're still pregnant? Get breastfeeding education before birth (preferably with both parents) and choose a hospital (postpartum care center) that's conducive to breastfeeding.
The reason for preparing in advance is that it is no exaggeration to say that the success or failure of breastfeeding is determined within a week of the baby being born.
If you are busy right after giving birth and miss the right time, breastfeeding will take several times more effort.
So, this book emphasizes studying in advance, and also includes a breastfeeding record chart at the very front so that you can track your baby's eating patterns for a week.
Please use this to receive regular checkups and help your baby grow up healthy.

16 Things You Need to Know to Successfully Breastfeed Your Newborn

1.
Receive education on breastfeeding, including breastfeeding positions and how to latch on before birth.
2.
Choose an obstetrics and gynecology clinic and postpartum care center that provides 24-hour rooming.
3.
Check with the hospital where you will give birth to see if they will support breastfeeding.
4.
If possible, choose natural childbirth.

5.
Start breastfeeding within 30 minutes to 1 hour after birth.
6.
Feed your baby whenever he or she is hungry.

Newborns wake up hungry, so feed them before they cry.

From the first day before your milk supply starts, breastfeed at least 8 to 12 times a day.
9.
During each feeding, feed from one breast for at least 15 minutes before feeding from the other breast.
10.
If the baby falls asleep after eating less, wake him up by pressing the palms and soles of his feet to make sure he eats enough.
11.
Even at night, the mother takes the baby to sleep and feeds the baby directly. If the baby sleeps for more than 4 hours, the mother wakes the baby up to feed the baby.

3-4 days after giving birth, as the milk supply increases and the breasts become firmer, you should breastfeed directly by correcting the breastfeeding position and latching on.

Besides mother's breast, the baby does not suck on bottles or pacifiers.
