What does breast milk comprise of?<\/h3>\r\n

Well, a lot of factors determine something that appears to be very simple! Your breast milk is a unique combination that is determined by your diet, genetics and hormones. In addition, the environmental factors around you also contribute to its composition. Let\u2019s say the weather changes, and it gets hotter. In such an instance, the composition of breast milk will also change, i.e. it will also contain more water. There is ongoing research to understand how breast milk is so tuned in to your baby\u2019s demands!<\/p>\r\n

The milk is rich in antibodies, fat and nutrients that are tailor made to support your baby\u2019s growth. Research shows that a significant portion of breast milk comprises of water.<\/p>\r\n

More about breast milk<\/h3>\r\n

Breast milk comprises of \u2018foremilk\u2019, which is the milk that the baby gets as soon as he latches on. Lighter and more watery, this satisfies the baby\u2019s immediate hunger pangs and calms him down. It helps protect your baby from dehydration owing to its high water content. Foremilk is also bursting with proteins, vitamins and carbohydrates.<\/p>\r\n

\u2018Hindmilk\u2019 is the thicker component of breast milk that flows in once the baby has been nursing for a while. This portion of the milk contains more energy and fat, both which help fill your baby\u2019s tummy and keep him pleasantly full and satisfied until his next feed.<\/p>\r\n

Research has revealed that breast milk also changes as per your baby\u2019s requirements. For instance, the fat component increases in the milk as your baby grows, to satisfy his nutritional requirements. Over time, it provides complete nutrition for the baby.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

What makes breast milk so amazing?<\/h3>\r\n

While we\u2019ve established that the composition of breast milk changes to suit your baby\u2019s needs, it\u2019s also known that breast milk can help your baby fight off infection. For instance, if you have a cough or cold, the antibodies from your system are transferred to your baby via breast milk, thereby boosting his immunity. Extended breastfeeding helps reduce the risk of heart disease, as well as other ailments including obesity, asthma and allergies. Miraculous indeed! <\/p>\r\n

The bottom line<\/h3>\r\n

There is no doubt that breast milk is unique and is the perfect food for your little one. While it may be difficult at the initial stages to establish a breastfeeding routine, doctors advise that you stay as stress-free as possible in order to get a good supply of breast milk. Once the baby learns to latch on well, your breastfeeding journey becomes both enjoyable and satisfying.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n
