Myths about breastfeeding

Myths about breastfeeding
share

Small breasts do not allow breast feeding.

False! The size and shape of the breast does not affect breastfeeding. Also, it does not influence the amount of milk produced. So, if you have big or small breasts you do not have to have difficulties when breastfeeding.

In women who want to breastfeed, it is recommended to check it with your doctor before.

True! There are surgeries that can prevent you from breastfeeding, just as there are medications that are excreted in milk that can reach the baby. For this reason, it is important that you consult your doctor about your willingness to breastfeed.

If I have little milk the first few days, I will not be able to breastfeed later due to insufficient quantity

False! The suction of the baby increases the production of milk, so you should not worry.

Breastfeeding is painful

False! Breastfeeding shouldn't be painful. In fact, pain is usually indicative that something is wrong.

Breastfeeding only favors the baby

False! Breastfeeding provides ideal nutrition for babies, but not only favors them. To the mothers, it helps reducing the risk of breast and ovarian cancer and can help losing weight. In addition, some studies indicate that it could reduce the risk of having postpartum depression.

Breast milk can smell and have different tastes or colors depending on what the mother eats

True! In fact, exposing your baby to different flavors while breastfeeding may make it easier in the future to introduce foods with different flavors. Breast milk can change its color depending on eating certain food.

It is recommended to extend breastfeeding as much as possible

False! Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended up to 6months. Then you can introduce food and decrease breast milk for the next 6 months.

No smoking during lactation

True! We already know that tobacco is harmful to the health of any person and this also involves harm to the nursing baby. Some of the effects are:

  • Greater susceptibility for presenting respiratory pathologies

  • Future obesity

  • Increase of the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, that is, sudden death of babies less than 1 year old.

In addition, it can produce a reduction in milk production.
