I have felt disappointed to know the data released by the Nuk Observatory of Lactation and the Santa Elena Clinic in Madrid.
Although initially, during the first days of the baby's life, 83% of mothers breastfeed their children, which is essential both for the baby's health and for creating an early attachment between the mother and the baby, the percentage decreases abysmally after hospital discharge.
When you leave motherhood and get home, things change a lot, I would say too much.
During the first trimester the majority of women give up breastfeeding and at six months only 6% is the percentage of mothers who feed their children with breast milk.
The profile of mothers who breastfeed for a longer time is that of a university woman of around 30 years, who has one or two previous children.
We have talked thousands of times in the blog about the benefits of breastfeeding a child, although of course everyone does what they want, or can.
But with the aim of correcting this decrease, our commitment is to encourage and recommend what experts say.
It is nothing more than highlighting its advantages as it is the easiest way to feed the baby, the most economical, easy, safe and fast; no need to sterilize or heat bottles or freeze milk.
In addition, it decreases the likelihood of osteoporosis and breast and ovarian cancer, and helps the mother recover her figure more quickly apart from decreasing the monthly flow helping to prevent the loss of the mother's iron stores.
If with this argument I encourage a mother, I consider myself satisfied.
