Do I Need To Breastfeed My Baby?

Breastfeeding is a great opportunity for mom and baby to bond, but it is not the only way to feed your little one. Baby formula provides babies with the nutrients they need to grow and thrive and breastfeeding is always a personal choice. However, breastfeeding has benefits that even the best baby formula cannot provide.

• Easier digestion: Baby formula is designed to fit the basic needs of all babies. However, breast milk is produced by your for your individual baby. This means it has the perfect combination of lactose, protein, and fat that your little one needs. Your baby’s digestive tract is better suited to digesting your milk, which results in fewer bouts of diarrhea or constipation.

• Better immune system: When a mother is exposed to pathogens in the environment, her body creates antibodies to ward off sickness. These antibodies are passed along to the baby when you breastfeed, helping to boost their little immune system. This helps to protect babies from respiratory illness, ear infections, and meningitis. Studies also show that babies who are breastfed have fewer fevers after immunizations than those who are bottle fed.

• Benefits continue into childhood: The benefits of breastfeeding extend far beyond the time you stop nursing your baby. Babies who are breastfed have a lower risk of developing childhood diabetes and obesity, as well as asthma and allergies later in life.

• Moms benefit from breastfeeding too: When you nurse your baby, a hormone called oxytocin is released. This hormone helps you to bond with your baby, but also helps your uterus contract and return to pre-pregnancy size, which reduces the amount of postpartum bleeding. Mothers who breastfeed also report fewer instances of postpartum depression and anxiety, and lose baby weight more quickly than mothers who do not breastfeed.

A Med Supplies Can Help You Get A Free Breast Pump Through Insurance

Mothers who plan on nursing their little one can still benefit from having a quality electric breast pump on hand. Experts recommend that babies are fed exclusively breast milk for the first six months of life, but many mothers return to work before this time. Pumping and storing milk allows for dads and caretakers to bottle-feed your infant while you are away, ensuring that they still have a steady diet of breast milk. Pumping breast milk can also help mothers who find breastfeeding to be uncomfortable provide their babies with their own milk in an easy way. When using A Med Supplies to order your free breast pump through insurance, you also gain access to discounted upgrades and breastfeeding essentials.
