Tips for Choosing Soy Milk for Children

Breastmilk is the best food and drink for babies. In fact, no single type of milk can exceed the advantages of milk produced by the mother's body. So, what are the features of breastfeeding?

From birth to 6 months of age, babies are only recommended to drink breast milk or breast milk. This is recommended not without reason. Foam is highly recommended for breastfeeding the baby, because breast milk contains a variety of good things for babies.

6 Benefits of ASI

After giving birth and taking on the role of mother, Busui will certainly have many new experiences. One of them is breastfeeding.

Although there will be many sacrifices that Busui will make during breastfeeding, such as quality sleep, this will be paid off with the tremendous benefits that breast milk will get for your baby.

The following are some of the features that can be obtained from ASI:

1. Contains many essential nutrients for babies

Breast milk is a very special food and drink for babies. Why? Because breast milk contains various important nutrients that are needed by the baby to support their growth and development.

The composition of breast milk is very complex and cannot be compared with formula milk or other milk. This is because breast milk contains more than 200 essential substances, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and hormones that are essential for the health of babies.

2. Protects babies from various diseases

One of the features of breast milk that cannot be compared to other types of milk is that it contains antibodies that can prevent various types of diseases that often attack babies, such as ear infections, respiratory infections, and diarrhea.

This feature can already be obtained from the first drop of breast milk or colostrum that the baby drinks. In fact, the number of antibodies in colostrum is much higher than the number of antibodies in regular breast milk (milk that comes out after 2–3 months of breastfeeding). Therefore, don't miss the moment of early initiation of breastfeeding after giving birth, OK.

3. Very easy to digest

Another reason why breast milk is special is that it is so easily digested and absorbed by the baby's digestive system. Breast milk contains more whey protein, while formula milk contains casein protein which is more difficult for babies to digest.

This is why babies who drink breast milk (breastfed babies) defecate more often than babies who drink formula milk (breastfed babies). Therefore, breast milk is good for the baby's digestive system and can prevent him from various digestive problems, such as diarrhea or constipation.

4. Improve baby intelligence

Several studies reveal that breastfed babies have a higher level of intelligence than supportive babies. This feature is very visible in premature babies.

Premature babies tend to be more prone to experiencing delays in the development of cognitive abilities (intelligence). However, in fact, research shows premature babies who are regularly breastfed in the first month of life can have better IQ and thinking skills than those who are not.

Apart from the nutritional content of breast milk, this difference in intelligence is thought to be related to intimacy, physical touch, and the bond between mother and baby that occurs during breastfeeding. It may also be that breastfed babies are at lower risk of developing behavior problems as they age.

5. Reducing the risk of allergies in babies

Some babies are born with a risk of allergies, such as asthma, rhinitis, food allergies, or eczema. Even so, babies who are regularly breastfed with breast milk are believed to have a lower risk of allergies than babies who drink formula milk.

6. Economical, practical and always available

This is a breastfeeding specialty that mothers should be grateful for. Unlike other milks, breast milk does not make Busui have to spend more money to get it.

Not only free, breast milk production also always adjusts to the needs of the baby. So in addition to being economical, Busui does not need to worry that breast milk will run out or decrease if it is continuously issued.

In addition, breast milk can always be available whenever the baby wants it. Most importantly, breast milk is very practical because Busui does not need to carry bottles and other nursing equipment. When your little one cries, Busui can breastfeed him anytime and anywhere.

Those are some of the features of breastfeeding that can be obtained. Even though currently Busui has only a small amount of breast milk, don't be discouraged from continuing to breastfeed your little one. The more frequently breastfeeding, the more abundant the production of Busui's milk.

To increase breast milk, Busui can also consume breast milk booster and perform breast massage.

If Busui has problems while breastfeeding, be it related to the amount of milk or the flow of milk, don't hesitate to consult a doctor or lactation consultant to get the right treatment and advice.
