Favourite breastfeeding facts?

Question

What’s your favourite breastfeeding fact?
Mine is when you kiss your babies face you collect their pathogens and your body makes antibodies for any bad bacteria. I used to use it as an excuse for extra kisses and cuddles- need to get those pathogens 😆

Answer

That the breastmilk changes to the needs of the baby. 😊

Answer

Babies can taste what you eat and eating more foods can cause them to be less picky. 
Milk contains live stem cells that turn into other cells later on. 
Breastfeeding can reduce your risk of breast cancer and type 2 diabetes.

Answer

That you should breastfeed a lot when you’re sick. The antibodies get passed through your milk & go to your baby 😌

Answer

Babies react to breast milk the same way we react to cannabis. So when they pass out after a feed they aren’t milk drunk, they are milk stoned.

Answer

That we literally melt our own bodies (fat) to create food to sustain life!

Answer

That shaking it in a bottle will change the molecular structure! And you should only swirl. Breast milk is such cool stuff

Answer

That your body is very much involved at protecting the baby at every level while breastfeeding. My son was a preemie- born at 27w2d. He got his first cold after weaning, at about 20 mos. He has yet to be seriously ill, even when I got norovirus and bronchitis.

Answer

That if a person sneezes in a room you’re in, your breastmilk will have made antibodies for it within 20 minutes. So cool!

Answer

Breast milk depends on your babies saliva and that you can breastfeed two different age babies and get two different milks from each Boob. Like normal milk from one and colostrum from the other.

Answer

That it's a natural pain reliever. And when your babys saliva informs your breastmilk what they need eeeeee I love everything!
