Hey there, let's chat about exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) and all the amazing benefits it brings to both you as the mother and your little one. The truth is, it's like hitting the jackpot when it comes to feeding your baby.
Firstly, did you know that EBF is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the first 6months of your baby's life? Yep, that's right.
EBF is when a baby is fed with only breast milk and no other liquids, semi liquids or solids. It's truly a gift that a mother can give to her child.
One of the coolest thing about EBF is that it's perfectly designed for your baby. Not only does it contain all the necessary nutrients, antibiotics and enzymes to support your baby's healthy growth and development but also helps protect against infections and illnesses such as diarrhea, pneumonia and ear infections. It is also super easy for their little tummies to digest, reducing the risk of tummy problems.
But wait, there's more. Breastfeeding is advantageous to mom too! It helps with postpartum weight loss by burning extra calories and help the womb return to it's pre-pregnancy size faster. It can reduce the risk of certain diseases like breast and ovarian cancer including all the snuggling and bonding time with your little one which releases oxytocin"love hormone" so you both be feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
And let's not forget the convenient part of it. No need to worry about mixing bottles or parking formula when you're out. Just whip out the goods 😄(your breast) and you're good to go. And hey, it's completely free- no need to break the bank on expensive formula.
So if you're able to, EBF is definitely the way to go. It's a win-win for you and your baby. So go ahead mama give yourself a pat on the back for choosing the best for your little one. 🥂 To the magic of breast milk!.
let's know your experience on EBF. I will be in the comment section.
