Medical Video: Breastfeeding myths busted: breast size, low milk supply, breastfeeding diets
Many opinions and advice about breastfeeding, especially from parents or other mothers. But you know, a lot of advice and assumptions about breastfeeding is actually wrong.
What are some of them?
You cannot breastfeed if you have small breasts or flat nipples
Breast appearance does not affect milk production or your ability to breastfeed. All breast and nipple forms can meet the needs of hungry babies. Your doctor will give advice on how to find the best breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding is more troublesome compared to bottled milk
Giving milk with a bottle is not easy! Unlike bottles, breasts are ready anytime when your baby needs them. You don't need to remember to take it with you when you're at the mall or worry about milk in a bottle damaged by the sun's heat. Breast milk makes it easier for you than formula milk.
Breastfeeding will curb you
Generally a nursing mother is a mother who has planned to spend most of her time with her baby. When carrying a baby out of the house (or even out of town), the nursing mother will be more free because she always has a supply of milk wherever she goes.
Breastfeeding will damage the shape of your breasts
Not a few people are surprised, it turns out breastfeeding does not affect breast shape or size at all. What changes the appearance of the breast is the period of pregnancy itself. When pregnant, your breasts prepare for the lactation process. Even when you end up not breastfeeding your child, this change persists and sometimes can be permanent. Weight gain, heredity, age, and not using a bra can make your breasts go down.
If the first time the milk does not come out, you cannot breastfeed onward
Even if you have difficulty breastfeeding your first child, research shows that you can produce more milk and when you try again you will usually succeed. There is a saying, "If your first time fails, try it, and try again". This golden advice also applies to breastfeeding.
Contact your doctor if you have questions and need advice. Rest assured that breastfeeding is an extraordinary responsibility for a mother. Be happy when you do it!
