Breastfeeding

It is common to believe that a fright or an upset that affects the mother can cause the breasts to "dry out" and not produce milk, which in some cases motivates weaning. Many women take care of suffering upset for fear of this happening, but although it is very good and it is important to avoid stress, sometimes situations overwhelm us.

We can explain what mastitis is (and then we will), but as they say around there: a picture is worth a thousand words. Rudy is a mother who has been breastfeeding her baby for a year and wants to share her story, not because it is inspiring or enjoyable, but so that all nursing mothers are informed about this problem that can arise during breastfeeding.

It happened in France, next door. And in this century, not in the Middle Ages. It seems a lie, and it is not something common, but there are still specific acts of "tetaphobia" in the twenty-first century.

Paula Echevarría has been the mother of her second son, Miguel Jr., at 43 years old, and shares the most tender images, completely in love with her little one. The actress has joined the celebrities who are openly breastfeeding their babies on social networks, a very necessary message to normalize breastfeeding in view of everyone, because it is the most normal and natural thing in the world.

The benefits of breast milk for babies are countless and new studies continue to discover new benefits of breastfeeding for the health of children and their mothers. The latest advance has been made by the University of Rochester (URMC), in the State of New York (United States). After analyzing thousands of tests, they discovered that children who were breastfed had better cognitive development than those who did not benefit from breastfeeding.

Breast milk is one of the least studied body fluids by science so far. Half a century ago, scientists revealed basic information about its composition, but today, thanks to technological advances, we can learn more and more about this substance that is much more than just a baby food. Breast milk is a "living and intelligent" food.

We all must always take care of our diet, but there are stages such as pregnancy or lactation, where it becomes more necessary if it is possible to eat a healthy diet, especially in times of so much heat.
