This blog post discusses about baby care - comfort your baby by breastfeeding. I wonder how many people realize this particular benefit of breastfeeding? It amazes me how effective it is to comfort my baby by breastfeeding her, no matter how stressed out or in pain she is,
to a point I sometimes wonder how a mother comforts her bottle fed baby. I mean, you can’t just stick a bottle in your baby’s mouth when she is distressed or in pain, can you? If you do that, the baby might get colic, or might be overfed, etc, etc. But breastfed babies are not worried about all these issues, they can be fed on demand. The demand could be physical demand or emotional demand. When they are scared, or distressed, or hurt, or any kind of discomfort, they can be comforted easily by nursing them. Breastfeeding is an instant antidepressant for our babies.
