Breastfeeding Journey💞

Why I chose to breastfeed my babies? Breastfeeding is one of the most important things we can do to our baby's health, and our own health too. When I become pregnant to my youngest I already knew that I want to give my best effort on my breastfeeding journey like I do to my three kids before, because of the well-known benefits of it to us and also to our baby. I am still exclusively breastfeeding to my 14months old baby right now. I must say that my breastfeeding journey was not easy, just like any other moms I also struggled with engorgement, latch issues and diet limitations. But every time I saw my son directly latch on me and receive the nutrients that I provided, it was super worth it! I am so thankful that I was able to give him a great start in life. It is one of the most sacrificial yet rewarding aspects of motherhood. It's a commitment that requires a lot from us including our energy & time. It is also a beautiful experience to bond with our baby in a special way and provide all the nourishment that our baby needs. I know not every mother is able to breastfeed, but it is definitely worth the effort to try. **Breastfeeding is a great opportunity for skin-to-skin contact, which is very important to help our newborn build an emotional bond with us. Breastfeeding provides everything, every single feed of breast milk is valuable! Esp. the first milk we make called colostrum, the first feed of colostrum to our babies can protect them against illness and infection. A baby's brain develops more quickly during the first 1,000 days than at any other time of life. The way the brain moulds and adapts to its environment contributes to the sort of person the baby will grow into. Lets breastfeed our babies for as long as we can, It gives us a chance to spend time getting to know our baby plus it's completely free! BREAST IS BEST! HAPPY BREASTFEEDING MONTH MOMMAS💝☺ A vaccine is a must have too, so take your pledge on #BuildingABakuNation 💪
