Lactation - sign of positive Parenting

The primary intake for the baby is the mother’s feed. There should be no doubt as far as this is concerned. During the final days of pregnancy the “Cholestrom” starts to secrete. If this is the first child then the secretion lasts for 2 days after pregnancy.
This secretion contains very important ingredients. It has a high content of resistant antibodies that prevents diseases. It also has a high percentage of white blood corpuscles. It is slightly yellow in color and a sticky dense liquid. It is secreted only in a small quantity, but sufficient enough to satisfy the hunger of the new born, whose capacity to consume is only 5-10 ml.
The infant should be fed in a very comfortable manner. Every positive parent should believe that my feed is the best for my child. Every parent should take an oath that I would not resort to anything without doctor’s advice as this would affect my child.
It definitely takes some days for the infant to learn the technique of sucking. Mother’s feed can be categorized as pre and post .The first milk is more diluted when compared to the latter. The nutrient value of the latter is more.
The former satisfies thirst while the latter satisfies hunger. The infant has to be fed whenever it cries, no matter it is once in 30 minutes. An infant should be fed only when it is awake. It has to understand the meaning of hunger. How to indicate its hunger and who to approach .These could be practiced only when the infant is awake.
A hungry infant cannot continue to sleep. Therefore there is no need to disturb a sleeping infant and feed it. There is a subject of doubt in the minds of the mother that the milk in the breast tends to get spoilt if unfed for a very long time. That is not true as the secretion happens only when the child feeds on the milk.
Posture while feeding the infant is very important. The infant should be fed sitting in a comfortable position not lying down posture as this affects the ears of the infant.
The infant should be lactated compulsorily for the first 6 months .Infants that have been lactated for 6 months seem to be more innovative, happy, smart children in the future. Let’s grow up healthy and nourished children and fulfill the strategy of perfect parenthood.
