Breast milk is the most natural, safe and complete natural food in the process of baby growth. It contains all the nutrients and antibodies that babies need for growth. Rich in calcium and phosphorus can make babies grow tall and strong. Immunoglobulin can effectively prevent and protect infants from infection and chronic diseases; Bifidobacterium and oligosaccharide can inhibit the reproduction of intestinal bacteria and help digestion.

In addition, the intimate contact and parent-child relationship of breastfeeding can stimulate the brain and intellectual development of infants.

The main reasons for some mothers to give up breastfeeding are: lack of milk, worry about the baby's insufficiency or malnutrition, pain when the baby refuses to suck or suck, exhaustion of physical strength, sore nipple or broken skin, breast swelling pain, inconvenience in work and other factors.

On August 2nd, 20021year, World Breastfeeding Week began with the theme of "Protecting Breastfeeding: The Responsibility of the Same Nation". In a joint statement, Foer, Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), said that breastfeeding is the core of the global commitment to eliminate child malnutrition.

Burping and milk spillage

(1) burp

The advantage of burping is to expel the air inhaled by children. The air that children may inhale because of crying during or before breastfeeding can alleviate the discomfort of children after burping.

(2) Overfeeding

Neonates often have galactorrhea, which is due to poor muscle development in the lower esophagus and fundus, small stomach capacity and prone to galactorrhea. In order to prevent the milk from overflowing, the child should be picked up vertically after feeding, patted on the back to make the child burp, and the air sucked into the stomach should be exhausted to prevent the milk from overflowing.

If the milk spill is not serious, the baby will gain weight, and no other bad phenomena will be found, so there is no need to be nervous. With the gradual increase of stomach capacity, it will stop automatically after 3-4 months of birth.
