For the baby:
1. Breastfeeding can met the child's psychological needs. Because it is true that the child has a strong need for sucking from birth, and this need will gradually decrease.
If we are forced to wean and the baby is not satisfied with sucking, they will find something else to replace, and when the baby grows up, it may cause some psychological problems, such as communication between people. In addition, babies have this kind of psychological needs. If they are satisfied, they will be very healthy, and they will not show this need from other places. Usually mothers pay special attention to satisfying the various needs of the baby within one year of age. If the child is raised by the intimate parenting method, the baby's mentality is really healthy and the child's mood will be more stable. Children learn to communicate with their mothers, mothers will also learn to observe their children, and the communication between mother and child will be healthy.
2. It is helpful to the baby's immune system. The mother's living cells enter the child's body and blood to help their body fight various diseases. And these cells actually help the child's immune system build up.
For the mom:
1. Many breastfeeding mothers find that breastfeeding has many benefits for her mental health. This is because her body is feeding the child, which has a great sense of accomplishment for the mother's psychology. Many mothers feel that breastfeeding is their favorite part and the most enjoyable part of motherhood. Long-term breastfeeding can enjoy this process more, especially when the child is a little older, they will communicate with you, and they will tell why they love breast milk so much and how important breast milk is to them.
2. One of the benefits of breastfeeding is that the mother’s chance of getting rickets will be reduced, and the chance of cancer will be reduced.
3. Help mothers recover and lose weight after childbirth. Breastfeeding does not require a lot of exercise. If your baby eats your milk every day, you can reduce 500 calories. If you breastfeed for a longer period of time, you will lose weight faster, and your chances of regaining body shape will be greater.
4. Breastfeeding can help mothers reduce the incidence of postpartum depression. If the mother finds that she has postpartum depression, it will be worse if she suddenly stops feeding her baby. It will directly affect the hormone imbalance in the body. Postpartum depression is caused by postpartum hormonal disorders. Suddenly stopping these hormones at this time will be more imbalanced, and her depression may be more serious. If she insists on breastfeeding, when the child sucks the milk, she will feel peaceful and calm and relax.
