The world celebrates World Breastfeeding Week from 1stAugust to 7th August every year. It is celebrated with the aim to increase awareness about breastfeeding and its advantages. It is beneficial for both the mother and the child. 

Breastfeeding shall be initiated within an hour or two of birth of the child. Many people believe that one shouldn’t breastfeed the baby for about a day as the milk in the initial days isn’t “good” and healthy for the baby. On the contrary, it is healthy for the baby as it contains higher concentration of proteins and other nutrients important for the baby. It is also rich in anti-infective factors that protect the baby against respiratory infections and diarrheal diseases. 

Advantages of breastfeeding for the baby: It is safe, clean, hygienic and available to the baby at correct temperature. It meets all the nutritional requirements of the baby. It provides immunity against respiratory or diarrheal diseases (most common diseases in new borne). It is easily digested by the babies. Sucking the milk promotes healthy development of jaws and teeth in the child. It is also observed that breastfed babies score higher in IQ test. 

Advantages of breastfeeding for the mother: It promotes the “bonding” between mother and the child. Early initiation of breastfeeding reduces the risk of hemorrhage post-delivery and thereby anemia, boosts mother’s immune system and delays next pregnancy. It reduces the risk of Diabetes, cancer esp. breast cancer. 

It has become a highly important issue these days. And to spread awareness has become imperative. These days it has become vital to educate mothers the importance of breastfeeding. 

In clinical practice it has been observed that children, who aren’t breastfed for a sufficient time or had been drinking artificial milk in their infant stage due to any causes, suffer from severe constipation in their childhood or teenage years. Their connections to their mother also haven’t been strong enough in the later years of life. 

Homoeopathy does help to a great extent to mothers who suffer from lactation issues. They might suffer from low levels of milk secretion or absolutely no milk secretion or any other trouble. You can safely switch to homoeopathy any time. Homoeopathy can be handy in constipated children as well, esp. those who have such kind of history.
