He marked the world’s breastfeeding week in the first week of August, which is a global campaign to highlight the importance of breastfeeding for baby and maternity health. It provides a valuable opportunity to evaluate the progress in breastfeeding measures, test the support system in place, and to protect, promote and maintain milk methods around the world.
According to the UNICEF and the World Health Organization, scientific evidence confirms that the first six months continues to breastfeed – without any other eating or liquids, scientific growth increases 3 to 4 IQ points, reduces the risk of obesity in childhood. Extremely critical, children who are not breastfeeding are likely to die 14 times more than breastfeeding during their first six months before their first birthday. In addition, according to the CDC website, breastfeeding children reduce the risk of nutrition, asthma, obesity, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), ear infections and gastrointestinal diseases. These health benefits go beyond childhood.
Mothers also have a significant benefit. Breastfeeding reduces the risk of postpartum hemorrhage, breast and ovarian cancer, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, health results are excellent for parents and children when breastfeeding lasts for at least two years. Therefore, breastfeeding should continue until the required by the parents and the baby.
The WHO recommends starting breastfeeding in the first hour, breastfeeding for six months and continuing to breastfeed two years and beyond. Which promotes special breastfeeding for the first six months with the global goal of reaching at least 50 % by 2025. The last figures for the breastfeeding rate in Pakistan are from 2018. According to UNICEF, increased from 48 % to 45.8 % in 2011 to 45.8 % in 2018 to 45.8 %. During the same period. By 2018, less than half of Pakistani infants were breastfeeding for six months. Provincial discrepancies are important all over the country. According to the National Nutrition Survey 2018, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (60.7 %) and Islamabad (57.6 %) saw the highest rates for breastfeeding, which are the lowest in Punjab (44.3 %) and Balochistan (43.9 %). No national data is available later to evaluate the progress toward the WHO’s 2025 target.
In Pakistan, despite some progress, the special rate of breastfeeding has been a cause for concern. In 2018, Pakistan is shaking around 47-48 %, the country will need minor annual benefits every year to meet the target, about 1-1.5 percent of the points.
Breastfeeding is very important within the first hour after birth, especially when the baby shows the early indications of hunger, as it helps to make feeding for both the mother and the baby smooth and more comfortable. These gestures include hand -to -mouth movements, lips, lips, roots (bending the head and opening the mouth when the cheek is touched) and increases alert. Mothers should be encouraged to present as soon as these signs appear, offer breast, rather than wait for the baby to cry, which is a late sign of hunger. Since every child is different, it is important for mothers to observe and learn their child’s unique gestures. Breastfeeding should be made on demand, instead of following a strict schedule, in response to the baby’s need. With time and patience, mothers can slowly learn to recognize these gestures and they should rely on their lives. After all, they will know their child best. Their confidence will naturally increase with experience.
Cholesterum is the first milk whose mother produces after birth, often called “liquid gold” because of the powerful benefits of yellow and health. Like thick and nutrients, such as honey, cholesterum is produced in small quantities. It is the first vaccine of nature, which helps prevent the newborn’s stomach and immune system from harmful bacteria and viruses. Although it can be difficult to remove with a pump, cholesterom is easily delivered by breastfeeding. In the days after delivery, the mother’s milk is gradually transmitted from the cholesterum to solid milk, which is called interim milk. This change does not happen overnight. Adult milk usually comes in three to five days after birth. Although cholesterum may not be visible, mothers should be assured that it is going straight into the baby’s mouth, provides necessary protection and upbringing during the early days of life.
One of the most common problems facing the new mothers is difficult to launch. A poor stick can cause pain and ineffective feeding. To indicate this, mothers should make sure that the baby’s mouth nipples and a significant part of the aerola covers both. In Pakistan, the most common positions that are breastfeeding include spinach hold, cross -crowd hold, side -ling and football (or clutch) hold. These positions are widely adopted by mothers for various reasons, such as comfort, ease of ease and specific needs such as postpartum recovery. Privacy Hold is a traditional position where the baby is kept with his head in the mother’s elbow bully and helps her body with her mother’s arm and chest. It is often used for bonding and can be comfortable for both the mother and the baby. In the cross -cloud hold position, the mother uses the anti -breast arm that she feeds to help the baby. It provides good control of the head and neck, especially for newborns and young children. Side -ling position is popular for night feed or when the mother is recovering from the cesarean section, it allows both the mother and the baby to rest while feeding. Grab (or clutch) in football, the baby is hit under the mother’s arm, which is equivalent to holding football, which can be helpful for those with large breast mothers or cesarean. Backback or biological upbringing positions include a mother’s recovery and baby. This encourages the baby’s natural food anxiety.
Breastfeeding increases the survival, nutrition and development of children, while protecting mothers’ health – nevertheless damages the global efforts of the formula milk.
After breastfeeding a baby, regardless of the position of feeding, they must be brought up. Buripping helps to leave any air that can swallow the baby while feeding, which can reduce the discomfort and prevent complications. The most common and effective method is to keep the baby straight against an adult’s shoulder and tap lightly or rub the back. Sometimes, he may need to repeat several times until the child is successfully bursting. Leaving this step immediately and feeding. Late laying on the baby increases the risk of desire and more seriously. Although it may feel repeatedly, but during the first few months of breastfeeding, it is a simple, but still important part of feeding, to ensure the safety and relief of the baby.
Milk supply can be a cause for concern for low -breastfeeding mothers and can affect the baby’s growth and relief. Low milk yield symptoms include a day of the first week after six wet diapers, poor or slow weight gain and an irritable or anxious baby that seems dissatisfied after feeding. Identifying and understanding the reasons for low milk supply is the key to solving the problem quickly. Normal cooperation factors include poor or wrong positioning, nursing or feeds, maternity stress and fatigue, dehydration, dehydration, inadequate nutrition and some medical conditions such as thyroid disorders, PCOS (polychetic overion syndrome) or hormonal imbalance. In addition, the initial introduction of peace or bottles can interfere with breastfeeding by disrupting the baby’s natural food indicators.
Mothers can often increase the supply of milk while breastfeeding. Feeding on demand helps to mobilize the hormone responsible for milk production. For example, a mother’s goal should be given every 2-3 hours of the day and at night every 3-4 hours at night. As long as both the mother and the baby are stable, the start of the contact as soon as possible. Should be done later. Keeping the naked baby on the mother’s bare chest offers immediate assurance, which helps to make the newborn feel safe and safe. This easy process helps to regulate the baby’s breathing, heart rate and physical temperature. The baby can have a calm effect for a few minutes to rest as soon as possible and support the natural transition in the outside life. Once the baby is settled, breastfeeding can be started more easily, taking advantage of the baby’s initial preparation and feeding. Mothers can also do breast compression. Breast compression is a technique that can help increase milk flow during breastfeeding. The mother can put soft pressure with her hand on the breast tissues while the baby is nursing. Breast compression can help the baby get more milk, and it can indicate the body to produce more milk. A mother can use breast pumps even after feeding to encourage milk production and supply. Pumping can help to empty the breasts more completely, which can indicate the body to produce more milk. However, to avoid excessive pumping, it is important that it can cause nipples discomfort and reduce milk supply.
Mothers should prefer fitness, nutrients dense foods, stay hydrated and listen to their body needs. Drinking 8-10 glasses of water, including cumin and carom seeds can help in producing milk. Healthy, healthy, balanced diet supports milk production, such as protein -rich foods, such as lean meat, eggs, dairy, beans, lentils and seafood, which are low in mercury. In addition, all grains, fruits and vegetables can be added to ensure a number of nutrients. Some can cause food or drink that it can stir the baby or show a sign of intolerance – such as quick, diarrhea, or home. If this happens, mothers may consider avoiding suspicious food for a week and monitoring any change. Finally, a special diet is not needed when breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding increases the survival, nutrition and development of children, while protecting mothers’ health – nevertheless damages the global efforts of the formula milk. In addition, despite its proven benefits, many mothers face challenges to start breastfeeding and continue. Many health care workers in both developed and less developed regions struggle to effectively support breastfeeding due to inadequate training. For doctors, nurses and midwife, the curriculum often allocates some time for breastfeeding consultation and support skills, including which outlines ten steps to achieve a successful breastfeeding. This aspect of medical education must be strengthened to improve the consequences of breastfeeding.
Supporting breastfeeding is not just morally – it is also economically wise. It reduces health care costs, increases children’s brain growth, improves school performance and strengthens national economies. To reduce the environmental impact of formula feeding, the formation of auxiliary environment is essential. A sustainable breastfeeding auxiliary system includes health care workers, especially common practitioners, families, working locations and community, helps mothers overcome challenges and ensure healthy results.
