<\/p>\n
Neonates should be breastfed within the first hour of their birth for increased survival chances. If they are delayed even by a few hours after birth, they are at the risk of losing their lives.<\/p>\n
Breastfeeding is also essential for mothers where the newborn develops kinesthetic contact with her breast, stimulating the onset of breast-milk vital for healthy physical and emotional growth of neonates.<\/p>\n
Breast milk contains antibodies that help a newborns fight viruses and bacteria. Breastfeeding decreases the risk of developing asthma and allergy attacks on neonates. Babies who are fed only with breast milk for 6 months, have a lesser chance of getting ear infections, respiratory diseases and episodes of diarrhea.<\/p>\n
Colostrum present in mother\u2019s milk is not only the baby\u2019s first milk but also the baby\u2019s first vaccine rich in nutrients and antibodies. It also provides amount of immunoglobin\u00a0 A that protects the child against illness.<\/p>\n
Breastfeeding also plays an important role in burning extra calories that a mother gains during childbirth. It helps mother\u2019s lose pregnancy weight faster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
