The lactation period is a unique time in a woman's life when a special bond forms between the mother and her newborn baby. During this time, the woman's diet should be adjusted to the baby's health to prevent the transfer of substances that can penetrate into the mother's milk and be negative for the baby. The diet should also be balanced and safe for the mother.
Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is recommended by experts due to the range of benefits it provides to mother and child. Breastfeeding has a stimulating effect on the proper psychomotor development of an infant, as breast milk has a different composition to suit the needs of the baby, depending on the stage of development. It is also one of the most precisely adapted foods for the needs and digestive system of the infant created by nature. No artificial mixture for infants is able to perfectly reflect the proportions and quality of ingredients in breast milk, such as proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, as well as bioactive substances. It is worth noting that only in breast milk are immunoglobulins present, which increase the resistance of the child's body to microbial attacks.
