This is a community set up by a pediatrician who is also an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). I am here to empower you in your Breastfeeding journey.
How to achieve a great start for your breastfeeding journey. Part 2 Start feeding your baby as soon as possible after birth, preferably in the 1st hour after birth. This is the Golden hour! Even moms who deliver by Cesarean section can breastfeed soon after birth, with some help to position and hold the baby. Why is this "Golden hour" so important?? because baby is most active and eager to accept feed during this hour. After the first hour, babies tend to fall asleep and sleep for a good hour or two, maybe more. so it's important to make sure baby has had his/her first breastfeed before baby falls asleep. If you are going to have a planned C section, talk to your support team before hand and tell them that you intend to breastfeed baby ASAP after delivery and will need help for the same. Meeting with an IBCLC before your delivery and learning the necessary skills is always a good idea! #breastfeedingconsultation #breastfeedingfacts #breastfeedingsupport #breastfeedingmom

Ensure early breastfeeding initiation, preferably within the first hour after birth, known as the Golden hour. Even after a Cesarean section, breastfeeding can start with assistance. This hour is crucial as babies are most alert and receptive to feeding. Plan ahead for breastfeeding after a C-section and seek support from your healthcare team. Consulting with an IBCLC before delivery is beneficial.👍

Starting breastfeeding within the first hour after birth, known as the "Golden hour," is crucial for several reasons: Baby's Alertness: Babies are often most alert and eager to breastfeed during this time. Taking advantage of this window increases the likelihood of a successful first feed. Initiation of Breastfeeding: Early breastfeeding initiation helps stimulate milk production and establishes the baby's latch and sucking reflexes. Colostrum Intake: Colostrum, the first milk produced by the breasts, is packed with essential nutrients and antibodies crucial for the baby's immune system. Starting breastfeeding early ensures the baby receives this important first milk.

Nutrition is a corner stone for the child's physical, mental and emotional growth & development. It is crucial for the proper development of the different cognitive functions of the brain and the child's intelligence & IQ. To build a healthy long productive life, you must start early even before the child is born as the first 1000 days are crucial. It is important that the child eats all the needed food groups on a daily basis together with limiting and avoiding all those junk fast food that are eaten frequently nowadays. Understanding all different aspects of healthy eating will help parents and child caregivers make better choices for their children. When children have healthy relations with food, they can easily reduce their prevalence of many behavioral disorders and chronic diseases. التغذية هي حجر الزاوية لنمو الطفل وتطوره الجسدي والعقلي والعاطفي. وهى أمر بالغ الأهمية للتطور السليم للوظائف المعرفية المختلفة للدماغ وذكاء الطفل ومعدل الذكاء. لبناء حياة صحية طويلة ومنتجة، يجب أن تبدأ مبكراً حتى قبل ولادة الطفل لأن أول 1000 يوم تعتبر حاسمة. من المهم أن يتناول الطفل كافة المجموعات الغذائية التي يحتاجها بشكل يومي مع الحد من الوجبات السريعة التي يتم تناولها بشكل متكرر في هذه الأيام وتجنبها. إن فهم جميع الجوانب المختلفة للأكل الصحي سيساعد الآباء ومقدمي رعاية الأطفال على اتخاذ خيارات أفضل لأطفالهم. عندما يتمتع الأطفال بعلاقات صحية مع الطعام، يمكنهم بسهولة تقليل انتشار العديد من الاضطرابات السلوكية والأمراض المزمنة لديهم.more
