Research Paper On Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding has once again been a main topic in the news. Unfortunately it is not a news piece that discusses how natural and amazing it is for a baby, but instead it has been thought of as sexually explicit, pornographic, and obscene. Before I write any further, I want to make it perfectly clear as to what these three specific words mean. Sexually Explicit Presents sexual content without obscuring or censoring it. The term is often used as a euphemism for pornography. It includes images and descriptions of nudity, especially genitalia, and unstimulated sex acts.

Here are some of the top ways for mothers to increase their supply: Nurse baby frequently: The key to breastfeeding and increasing your supply is to remove more milk from the breast, creating a supply and demand issue. Having your baby remove more milk from the breast signals your body to produce more, thinking that baby needs more. Take a nursing vacation: I have had to do this with my baby, when we were trying to wean her off formula after being released from the hospital. Just grab a few books, magazines, lots of water, and bring baby to bed with you, and just nurse on demand. This goes hand in hand with nursing your baby more frequently - if you spend just a few days nursing your child on demand, your body will realize that baby needs more milk, thus it will begin to produce more. Offer both sides at each feeding: If, after feeding for a while on one side, you
