Lactation

We believed that it would not be possible, but yes. They have created it. The Japanese technology company Dentsu has developed 'Father's Nursing Assistant', an artificial breast for parents to "breastfeed" their baby, which it recently presented at the SXSW 2019 fair held in Austin, Texas.

Breastfeeding is something precious that is shared between a mother and her child, because in addition to feeding him breast milk, an intimate and exclusive moment is shared between them, in which they also strengthen their bond.

During breastfeeding, what the mother eats passes into the milk that the baby drinks, slightly modifying its taste. This early exposure to different flavors makes the breastfed baby more inclined to accept them in the future and, ultimately, to have a more varied diet.

Mother's milk preferably, and if not formula milk, provides all the energy and nutrients that a baby needs to feed properly during the first six months of life, so they do not need any other liquid: neither infusions, nor teas , no juices, not even water.

For many mothers who work outside the home, the care of their children must be provided by a third person and that is when, in most of these cases, a decision must be made: babysitting or daycare? Sometimes for the economic issue and for the security of knowing that a children's room has its papers in order and has qualified personnel, we opt for that second option.

We know that the crying of babies is their way of expressing themselves. They cry if they are hungry, sleepy, or cold, and they cry if they need a diaper change. But on some occasions, babies continue to cry despite having solved all their possible demands. It usually happens at the same time of day and they don't seem to have consolation.

Having informed health professionals who advise mothers on breastfeeding and support them in making decisions, favors the success of breastfeeding and enhances the development of the attachment relationship between the mother and the newborn.

Finding out that you are pregnant with twins can come as a huge surprise! It is also likely that a lot of doubts regarding their upbringing will begin to invade you, and if you had decided to breastfeed, you may now wonder if you will be able to breastfeed two babies.
