Breastfeeding

Unlike formula milk po kasi na gawa rin from cow's milk (cows having 4 stomach compartments to digest), ang breastmilk po ay easily digestible for our babies, kaya mas madaling magutom, unlike sa fm na need nila matulog to conserve energy amd digest the milk. Also, unlike fm na maraming sugar, there are no unnecessary sugar or fats sa bm natin, which is why breastfed babies are not as "fat" in comparison ☺️ Ang built po ni baby ay based rin sa genes ng magulang. As long as within normal range naman po ang weight ni baby, healthy and hitting milestones, then no need to worry po. Breastmilk is already the best milk you can give to your baby. Also remember that babies doesn't latch only for feeding but for comfort as well. Kaya nga naimbento ang pacifier to replace a mom's breast/ nipple which gives babies comfort ☺️ Another reminder po na based on Supply and Demand po ang breastmilk production natin. So the more na nakalatch si baby, the more it signals our body to produce milk. Also, ang batayan po ng dami ng breastmilk natin ay based on baby's output (poops, wiwi, pawis), at hindi sa dami ng napu-pump o paninigas ng dede. And remember na kapag umiiyak or iritable si baby, it doesn't always mean din na gutom sya ☺️ If extra fussy than usual, consider po ang possible Baby Growth Spurt.
