Breastfeeding is
one of the most controversial topics in ‘Mama Land’. When asked if I breastfeed,
I get constipated and disgusted faces at times and delighted faces with a
“Bravo” other times.Abhorred by many and
cherished by others, like myself. According to The World Health Organization, globally less than 40% of infants under six months of age are exclusively
breastfed.
Breastfeeding is
recommended by both the WHO and the American Academy of Pediatrics for the first six months of a baby’s life. Away from the
health organizations' recommendations and from one breastfeeding mother to you.
Breastfeeding is the only natural and best method to nurture your little one.
Yes it will be hard at first, I have to admit, it might hurt, irritate and drive you crazy at times. That's why it's important to know that breastfeeding is learnt and isn’t an easy practice, especially in the first two months that will be quite challenging in fact.However as soon as the baby masters his latching skills and a rough routine is established, it WILL get much much easier.
