"Mom Golden's Milk"

"The first goal of a mother is to give what's the best for their babies from pregnancy until the day they were born".

Before a woman found out that she is pregnant, she already has this mama instinct that told her that there is something inside her and she needs to be extra careful not to harm or put it in danger.

When the day that woman confirmed that she is bearing half of her life, she has this feeling to give her best to fulfill the baby's needs and wants by cravings.

And tracks the baby's development and health from the first trimester to the third trimester by consulting monthly to your obstetrician-gynecologist.

She also takes all the laboratory tests to secure the safety of the baby from any danger and illness during pregnancy.

When she is in her third trimester, she needs to start when what kind of birth plan she has to do and with who, this is also the time to prepare all the baby's things and needs. And wait for the baby's arrival.

All of this process and sacrifice is for the baby's safety.

Now, if you are reading this and you are a mom, please answer these questions;

1. Did you think about what to feed to your newborn baby?

2. Did you think about the pros and cons of feeding it with formula milk or with breast milk?

Not all of the mommies out there are blessed to produce milk for our newborn babies, some mothers have a problem with their nipples that they can do direct latch to the baby or cannot produce milk. So, they don't have a choice just to feed the baby with formula milk that is prescribed by the doctor and approved by a nutritionist.

And some of the mommies are blessed with milk, some of them are already producing milk while pregnant and this substance is called colostrum.

Colostrum is the first milk that the baby should drink because colostrum is loaded with immune, growth, and tissue repair factors. It is a complex biological fluid, which helps in the development of immunity in the newborn.

After the colostrum, it takes 2-y days before the mature milk will follow. It is not easy to breastfeed a baby days after they are born, but you need to maintain the latch process to produce milk.

It should be correct because a poor latch can give you sore nipples.

It may also mean your baby can't drain your breast effectively, leading to poor weight gain, reducing your milk supply, and putting you at increased risk of blocked milk ducts and mastitis.

Babies are like trees and breast milk is like water. They should be watered properly to avoid dehydration, and once it is watered properly, care properly, and with proper sunlight, it will grow healthy and strong.

Breast milk is the only strong weapon that is conquered and protected the baby from enemies which are bacteria and viruses. No matter in what way do you want to feed it.

By bottle - Pump the breast milk.

Direct latch

Breastfeeding or giving your babies breast milk is not because you are poor and you cannot afford to buy formula milk, it is because you decided to give all of yourself and sacrifice your body.

Because is giving all of you to meet the needs of the baby.

And these breast milk nutrition facts can prove why breast milk is gold.

To those breastfeeding moms like me, and to those who are non-breastfeeding moms;
